Hoge Brug, Steel footbridge in Céramique district, Maastricht, Netherlands.

The Hoge Brug is a steel cycle and pedestrian bridge over the Meuse in Maastricht, 261 metres long and 7.20 metres wide, with its deck 16 metres above the water. A single shallow steel arch rises to 26 metres, and thin cables hang from it to the flat deck. The bridge lands at Plein 1992 in Céramique and in the Stadspark on the west bank.

The bridge opened in 2003 as part of a larger redevelopment plan for Maastricht's eastern riverbank. It replaced older routes and created a modern link between areas that were previously difficult to reach.

Locals call it Hoeg Brögk in the Maastrichtian dialect, while the official Dutch name means 'high bridge'. It links the Stadspark with the Charles Eyckpark and lands in Céramique at Plein 1992. The shallow arch and its diagonal cables are the features to look for from the deck.

Lifts at both ends serve visitors with limited mobility. The approach on each bank is a 'lazy stair' whose tread depth makes it unclear whether to take one or two steps at a time, a layout cyclists often criticise. A curl-shaped stair links the city-centre landing to the Maasboulevard.

The bridge's deck hangs from diagonally tensioned cables rather than vertical ones, a detail visible when standing beneath the arch. In 2004 it received the Staalprijs, the steel construction award of the Stichting Bouwen met Staal, recognising the engineering of its pylon-free span.
