Spijkenisserbrug, Vertical-lift bridge in Spijkenisse, Netherlands

The Spijkenisserbrug features a central section that moves vertically to allow ships to pass underneath while connecting the municipalities of Nissewaard and Rotterdam.

Construction plans for the bridge originated in 1903, but the current structure opened on July 11, 1978, replacing an earlier version at the same location.

The bridge represents Dutch engineering capabilities in managing water infrastructure, joining numerous mechanical bridges that characterize the Netherlands transportation network.

Located at coordinates 51.85972, 4.34083, the bridge serves both maritime vessels and road traffic, enabling efficient movement between urban areas.

The bridge design incorporates specialized lifting mechanisms that can adjust to different vessel heights while maintaining structural stability throughout operations.
