Rode Brug

The Rode Brug spans across the Vecht River, connecting Anton Geesinkstraat and Loevenhoutsedijk streets in the northern section of Utrecht.

Built in 1621 as a replacement for a fixed structure, the bridge underwent major renovations in the late 19th century and received its current form in 2009.

The bridge derives its name from the medieval jurisdiction of Roode Brug, marking an important point in the city's water management system.

The narrow width of the bridge allows only one vehicle to cross at a time, despite being open to two-way traffic.

The bridge features elevated cycling lanes on both sides, painted in red, with a bridge operator's house from 1890 designated as a national monument.
