Timo Smeehuijzenbrug, Bridge in Amsterdam-Zuid, Netherlands

The bridge spans over the Noorder Amstelkanaal, connecting Coenenstraat with Beethovenstraat through three navigation passages of different widths.

Constructed in 1925 as part of Amsterdam's urban expansion, the bridge was designed by architect Piet Kramer from the Public Works Department.

The granite sculptures of two seals and two snakes, created by artist Hildo Krop, decorate the bridge pillars in the Amsterdam School style.

The bridge serves both vehicular traffic and pedestrians, while tram lines 5 and 24 operate regular service across its structure.

In 2009, the bridge received its name in memory of Timo Smeehuijzen, a Dutch ISAF soldier who died during military service in Afghanistan.
