Molenbrug, Cable-stayed bridge in Kampen, Netherlands

The Molenbrug extends 627 meters across the IJssel River, featuring two lifting towers decorated with gold leaf and a central span of 193.5 meters.

The initial wooden bridge from 1448 underwent multiple reconstructions, including a floating ship bridge in 1589, before the current structure opened in 1983.

The bridge's design integrates modern engineering with references to Kampen's traditional architecture through the incorporation of tower elements that mirror the city's heritage.

The structure carries the N764 road with a 19.4-meter-wide deck that includes vehicle lanes and pedestrian paths connecting Kampen with surrounding communities.

The bridge received its name from its location near the D'Olde Zwarver windmill, while locals refer to it as 'De nieuwe brug' meaning 'The new bridge'.
