Berlagebrug

The Berlagebrug spans 80 meters across the Amstel River, connecting the Rivierenbuurt district with the Weesperzijde area of Amsterdam.

Engineer Cornelis Biemond and architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage completed the construction of this bridge in 1932, following a budget of 1.6 million florins.

The bridge design incorporates decorative elements by sculptor Hildo Krop, including relief work made with green glazed stone and red Limburg brick.

Located at coordinates 52.347333, 4.91275, this structure serves as a vital connection point for vehicles, pedestrians, and trams crossing the Amstel River.

Canadian forces used this bridge as their entry point when liberating Amsterdam on May 8, 1945, during the final days of World War II.
