Jan Schaeferbrug, Bridge in Eastern Docklands, Netherlands.
The Jan Schaeferbrug crosses the IJhaven, connecting Piet Heinkade to Java Island through a steel and concrete structure with pedestrian paths and vehicle lanes.
Named after politician Jan Schaefer in 2001, this bridge marked a significant step in the transformation of Amsterdam's former harbor area into residential districts.
The bridge design incorporates elements of maritime architecture, with footpaths resembling ship gangways and special slots for cyclists navigating steep slopes.
The central section of the bridge can be dismantled every five years to allow tall ships to pass through during the Sail Amsterdam maritime festival.
Engineers installed two removable sections in the bridge structure to maintain access to historical buildings like Warehouse the Silent during construction phases.
