IJsselbrug Zwolle

The IJsselbrug is a steel bridge that spans the IJssel River in Zwolle and connects different parts of the city. It features a main section with a long clear span and was designed to accommodate both vehicle traffic and cyclists.

The bridge was rebuilt after its initial destruction during World War II and has served as a key traffic route in Zwolle for many decades. It was later protected as a Rijksmonument, recognizing its importance to Dutch heritage.

The bridge serves as a daily crossing point where residents and visitors move between different neighborhoods on foot or by bicycle. It offers people a chance to experience the river landscape from above while linking distinct areas of the city.

You can cross the bridge at any time of day and find well-paved paths for pedestrians and a separate lane for cyclists. It is a safe and direct route between the city sides, especially convenient for daily commuters.

The river section beneath the bridge is deep enough to allow larger water vessels free passage. This height makes it possible for boats and small ships to pass freely under the structure.
