Hoornbrug, Bascule bridge in Rijswijk, Netherlands
The Hoornbrug spans across the Delftsche Vliet, a section of the Rhine-Schie Canal, connecting the municipalities of Rijswijk and The Hague.
Records indicate a bridge existed at this location since 1340, with significant upgrades in 1601 when a stone structure was built to accommodate traffic between Delft and The Hague.
The bridge functions as a crucial meeting point where foreign ambassadors were traditionally received by delegations from the States General, notably exemplified in January 1663.
The bridge serves as a vital transportation link, accommodating both vehicular traffic from the A13 motorway and tram lines 1 and 15 connecting to The Hague.
In 2023, the bridge underwent extensive maintenance work, including renovations to its electrical systems, paint, and asphalt to ensure optimal functionality.
