Moreelsebrug, Steel footbridge and viaduct in Utrecht, Netherlands.
The Moreelsebrug extends 295 meters across railroad tracks, connecting the Dichterswijk district with Mariaplaats in the center of Utrecht.
Named after Utrecht's 17th-century mayor Hendrick Moreelse, the bridge opened in December 2016 following construction that began in March 2015.
The structure reflects Utrecht's commitment to sustainable transportation, providing dedicated paths for both cyclists and pedestrians across the railway zone.
The bridge features bicycle gutters along its stairs and elevators for accessibility, requiring cyclists to dismount before crossing the structure.
A row of 17 Persian Iron Wood trees grows along the central strip of the bridge, specifically cultivated to thrive in this elevated environment.
