Mozesbrug, Submerged footbridge at Fort de Roovere, Netherlands.
The Moses Bridge crosses the moat of Fort de Roovere through a 50-meter-long path that intersects the water at surface level.
The bridge opened in 2011 as part of the restoration project of the West Brabant Water Line, a 17th-century military defense system.
The design draws inspiration from the biblical account of Moses parting the Red Sea, creating an optical effect of walking through divided waters.
Access to the footbridge requires descending seventy steps, making it exclusively accessible to pedestrians who can navigate steep staircases.
The structure, made of acetylated wood, sits below the waterline with high walls preventing water from entering the pedestrian pathway.
