Vlaardingse Vaart Bridge, Pedestrian and bicycle bridge in Vlaardingen, Netherlands.
The Vlaardingse Vaart Bridge spans 45 meters across the canal with a rectangular structure made of 400 welded steel tubes in red paint.
The bridge opened in April 2009 following a construction process that combined on-site work with prefabrication in a temporary assembly area.
West 8 architectural firm designed this infrastructure project, which received recognition as a finalist in the Dutch Design Awards best public space category.
The bridge connects the suburbs of Holy-Zuid and Broekpolder, providing an essential crossing point for pedestrians and cyclists over the Vlaardingervaart canal.
The bridge structure rotates 90 degrees from end to end, creating a horizontal orientation at the endpoints and a diamond shape in the center.
