Hoge Brug, Steel footbridge in Céramique district, Maastricht, Netherlands.
The Hoge Brug spans 261 meters across the Meuse River, featuring a main arch that reaches 26 meters in height and a 7.2-meter-wide pedestrian deck.
Opened in 2003, this modern footbridge was designed by architect René Greisch to connect the eastern bank of the Meuse River with Maastricht city center.
The structure received the Staalprijs architectural award in 2004 for its integration of engineering excellence with contemporary Dutch urban design principles.
The bridge includes glass elevators at both ends and bicycle-friendly inclined stairways with lateral gutters for wheeling bikes up and down.
Fourteen crosswise full locked suspension cables, each 50 millimeters in diameter, support the bridge's distinctive circular segment box girder design.
