Rozenoordbrug

Rozenoordbrug is a bridge complex spanning the Amstel River with three separate structures for trains, metro lines, and road traffic, including dedicated bicycle paths. These structures connect different parts of the city and allow multiple types of transportation to cross simultaneously.

The southern bridge section opened in 1981, followed by the northern section in 1989, while the railway bridges were constructed to serve train and metro traffic. The complex was built to handle growing transportation demands between different districts.

The bridge takes its name from the Rozenoord estate, a site of tragic events during World War II that is commemorated by a memorial near the river.

The bridge is accessible daily for pedestrians, cyclists, and all vehicle types, with multiple crossing options depending on your mode of transport. The best way to experience it is by walking or cycling from the riverside areas to view all three levels and distinct structures.

The bridge underwent reinforcement work in 2020 due to structural concerns, with additional support pillars added to handle uneven load distribution. This modernization shows how infrastructure must adapt to increasing demands.
