Torontobrug, Double bascule bridge in Amsterdam-Oost, Netherlands.

The Torontobrug spans 120 meters across the Amstel River, connecting Stadhouderskade with Mauritskade through five navigation passages of 22 meters each.

The bridge, initially named Stadhoudersbrug, received its current name in 1974 following the establishment of a partnership between Amsterdam and Toronto.

From the bridge, visitors observe multiple national monuments including the Amstel Hotel and the historic facades along Sarphatikade street.

The structure contains two motors located below the Amstel water level, operating the bridge sections for water traffic management.

The bridge features dedicated pedestrian underpasses measuring 5.50 meters wide on both sides, separated from the main vehicle deck.
