Hollandse Brug

The Hollandse Brug connects North Holland and Flevoland provinces, carrying both railway and motorway traffic across the water. The structure has separate levels for different types of transportation, designed so trains, cars, bicycles, and pedestrians can all use the bridge at the same time.

The bridge opened in 1969 and created a vital link between the Randstad region and the newly developed Flevoland province. This project was a major step in infrastructure development that enabled rapid growth in the new province.

The bridge demonstrates Dutch engineering tradition by bringing together multiple transportation modes in one place. Cyclists, pedestrians, and motorists share the same structure across the water.

The bridge is located between Muiderberg, Naarden, and Almere and can be easily reached from these areas. You can drive or walk past it from the nearby A6 motorway exit or from the local train stations.

The bridge crosses two separate water bodies, Gooimeer and IJmeer, connecting two different water systems with a single structure. This dual function makes it a particularly complex and interesting engineering solution across the Dutch landscape.
