Kandelaarbrug, Lift bridge at Zweth between Rotterdam and Delft, Netherlands
The Kandelaarbrug spans across the Delftse Schie river with a hydraulic lifting mechanism controlled by a cylinder beneath the bridge deck.
The bridge name comes from a 17th-century inn called De Candelaar that stood along the river, where ships would dock at night.
The structure exemplifies Dutch engineering principles by integrating cycling infrastructure with maritime traffic management systems.
This steel bridge opens approximately 120 times weekly to allow passage for vessels up to 65 meters long and 7.5 meters wide.
The western approach features an extended ramp with a distinctive bend, making it the longest access ramp in the surrounding area.
