Papendrechtse brug, Road bridge between Papendrecht and Dordrecht, Netherlands
The Papendrechtse brug extends across the water as a steel arch structure, connecting the municipalities of Papendrecht and Dordrecht with its dual-purpose design.
Built in 1967, the Merwedebrug represents a significant advancement in Dutch infrastructure development during the post-war reconstruction period of the Netherlands.
The bridge functions as a meeting point where residents from both municipalities gather for various community events and social interactions throughout the year.
Regular bridge openings occur outside peak hours to accommodate maritime traffic, with real-time notifications available through the Waterkaart Live application.
The bridge maintains separate navigation charts from Rijkswaterstaat, integrated into Waterkaart.net, providing detailed information for maritime navigation beneath its structure.
