Werkspoor bridge

The Werkspoor bridge is a railway bridge in Utrecht that spans the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal and connects both sides of the city. It carries train tracks over the waterway as part of the regional rail network.

The bridge opened in 2002 in an area shaped by the Werkspoor factory, which produced railway equipment from 1913 until 1989. After the factory closed, the site transformed into a new neighborhood.

This infrastructure represents the transformation of Utrecht's industrial district, where former factory grounds have become centers for creative enterprises and sustainable development.

The bridge is accessible by train as it carries daily rail traffic between city areas. You can view it from nearby walking paths and waterside areas along the canal.

The bridge location at coordinates 52.11028, 5.07694 marks the intersection of water transport routes and rail systems in the Netherlands.
