Queen Juliana Bridge, Bascule bridge in Alphen aan den Rijn, Netherlands.
The Queen Juliana Bridge spans across the Oude Rijn river with two movable sections that lift to allow passage of water vessels beneath the structure.
The bridge, constructed in the 1950s, received its name from Queen Juliana who governed the Netherlands between 1948 and her abdication in 1980.
The bridge functions as a central meeting point for local residents who gather near its vicinity during community events and celebrations throughout the year.
Regular maintenance inspections ensure the mechanical lifting system operates efficiently for both vehicle traffic above and maritime vessels passing underneath the bridge.
In 2015, the bridge gained attention when two construction cranes collapsed during renovation work, leading to structural modifications and enhanced safety protocols.
