The Green Connection
The bridge connects Rotterdam to a nature reserve and recreational area south of the city, that measures 600 hectares.
The bridge is 190 metres long and crosses the freight railway from Rotterdam to Germany and the motorway A15 at a height of 9 metres.
The design of the bridge is by @marc_verheijen, an architect of the city of Rotterdam. It cost over 9.2 million Euro.
The span had to be very large at this location, where the motorway is extra wide because of a resting area with a fuel station.
The bridge was constructed in a factory in Vlissingen in two parts.
The design resembles the famous elevated tram track in The Hague, nicknamed ‘the fish net stocking’. Here the oval shape changes: it is horizontal at either end of the bridge and vertical in the middle. This gives the bridge a very interesting design.
