Tacitusbrug, Cable-stayed steel bridge in Beuningen and Overbetuwe, Netherlands.
The Tacitusbrug is a cable-stayed steel bridge that crosses the Waal River between Beuningen and Overbetuwe, carrying multiple lanes of traffic. The structure features distinctive pylons with steel cables that support the roadway.
Construction began in 2011 and was completed in 2013, addressing growing traffic demands in the region. The project was part of broader infrastructure development in the Waal Valley.
The bridge carries the name of a Roman historian who documented the regions along the Waal River. This connection links the modern structure to the ancient past of the area.
The bridge is part of the A50 motorway and can be freely accessed by drivers at any time. Visitors can view the structure and river below from vantage points along the route.
During maintenance work, two mobile work tents of different sizes were deployed to keep traffic flowing while renovations took place. This innovative approach allowed repairs to occur without closing the road.
