Moerdijk bridges, Bridge complex in Moerdijk, Netherlands

Three parallel bridges span the Hollands Diep river, connecting the island of Dordrecht in South Holland with North Brabant province over 1018 meters.

The first railway bridge opened in 1872 as Europe's longest bridge, while German forces destroyed all bridges during their retreat in 1944.

The bridges represent a milestone in Dutch engineering, with the 1978 road bridge receiving the National Steel Prize for its innovative design.

The bridges carry rail traffic, high-speed trains, and motorway A16 with six lanes, serving 145,600 vehicles daily as of 2023.

Parts of the original road bridge remain as a monument near the south bank, including a memorial relief commemorating its history.
