Galecopperbrug, Cable-stayed bridge in Utrecht, Netherlands
The Galecopperbrug spans across the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal with tall pylons supporting the roadway through a network of diagonal cables.
Built in 1970, the bridge underwent extensive renovations from 2013 to 2015 as part of a larger initiative to upgrade fourteen bridges in the Netherlands.
The bridge represents Dutch engineering excellence through its design, serving as a model for infrastructure development in urban transportation networks.
The bridge renovation increased the vertical clearance to 9.10 meters, allowing vessels carrying four layers of containers to pass underneath.
The structure required specialized pile tests with weights of up to 750 tons to verify its load-bearing capacity during the renovation phase.
