Kennedybrug, Road bridge in Maastricht, Netherlands.
The John F. Kennedy Bridge spans 588 meters across the Maas River with a main section of 112 meters and two traffic lanes in each direction.
Prince Claus inaugurated the bridge on May 6, 1968, when certain facilities remained incomplete due to the unexpected death of chief engineer W.P. Goedhart.
The structure received its name in recognition of United States President John F. Kennedy following his death in 1963, reflecting Dutch-American relations.
The bridge includes dedicated cycle paths on both sides and maintains a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour, serving approximately 33,000 vehicles daily.
Two 360-degree curved ramps on the western bank connect the bridge to the Maasboulevard, addressing the significant height difference between levels.
