Krúsrak, Wooden traffic bridge in Sneek, Netherlands

The Krúsrak bridge combines steel road deck with wooden spans reaching 15 meters in height to form a crossing over the A7 highway.

Commissioned by the province of Fryslân in 2008, this bridge represents the first uncovered wooden structure for heavy traffic in the Netherlands.

The architectural design draws inspiration from traditional Frisian farmhouses while incorporating modern engineering methods typical of the Sneek region.

The bridge supports vehicle traffic on the main deck while providing separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists to cross between city districts.

Constructed with acetylated wood from New Zealand forests, the bridge structure weighs 354 tons and contains no straight components in its design.

Inception: 2008
