Stadsbrug Zwijndrecht, Double bascule bridge over Oude Maas in Dordrecht and Zwijndrecht, Netherlands.

The Stadsbrug Zwijndrecht features a fixed section and a movable double bascule mechanism, connecting the municipalities across the Oude Maas river.

The bridge served as part of the A16 motorway from 1939 until 1977, when increasing traffic demands led to the construction of the Drechttunnel.

Residents from opposite sides use different names for the bridge: Dordrecht inhabitants call it Zwijndrechtse brug, while Zwijndrecht locals name it Dordtse brug.

The bridge opens approximately six times daily for maritime traffic, with each opening lasting an average of seven minutes to allow vessels passage.

A precise replica of the Stadsbrug Zwijndrecht stands in Madurodam, the miniature city attraction constructed in 1996.
