Utrechtsebrug, Concrete bridge across Amstel River in Amsterdam-Zuid, Netherlands
The Utrechtsebrug spans 250 meters across the Amstel River, connecting Rijnstraat with Nieuwe Utrechtseweg through its concrete construction and multiple traffic lanes.
Constructed between 1951 and 1954, the bridge replaced a ferry service and marked the beginning of the A2 highway connecting Amsterdam to Utrecht.
The Netherlands Israelite Community presented a sabbatketting chain to the bridge, representing the symbolic closing of the Amstel River during Sabbath times.
The bridge carries five traffic lanes in total, with two lanes heading out of the city and three lanes directed toward Amsterdam's center.
The structure incorporates 600 support piles and maintains a clearance height of 5 meters, eliminating the need for a movable bridge mechanism.
