Tacitusbrug, Cable-stayed steel bridge in Beuningen and Overbetuwe, Netherlands.
The Tacitusbrug spans 270 meters across the Waal River, connecting the municipalities of Beuningen and Overbetuwe through the A50 motorway system.
Construction of the bridge began in January 2011 and was completed in March 2013, addressing the need for additional infrastructure due to increased traffic.
The bridge received its name through a public contest, honoring Tacitus, the Roman historian who documented the region around the Waal River.
The structure features a 36-meter width and accommodates multiple lanes of traffic, supporting the expansion of the A50 motorway between Ewijk and Valburg junctions.
Two mobile work tents, measuring 450 and 170 meters respectively, were used during renovation to maintain the bridge while keeping traffic flowing.
