Schipholdraaibrug, Swing bridge in Schiphol-Oost, Netherlands.
The Schipholdraaibrug rotates horizontally on a central pivot to allow passage of boats and ships through the waterway connecting Schiphol and Amstelveen.
The bridge represents the evolution of Dutch maritime infrastructure, forming an essential connection point between Aalsmeer and Amsterdam for both water and land transportation.
The bridge exemplifies the Netherlands' relationship with water management, combining engineering solutions with the daily needs of maritime and road traffic.
The bridge operates according to specific schedules managed by Havendienst Haarlem, requiring boat operators to request openings when their vessels exceed height limitations.
Modern hydraulic units and cylinders enable the rotating mechanism of the bridge, demonstrating current engineering capabilities in movable bridge construction.
