Gevlebrug, Restored bridge in Houthaven, Netherlands.

The Gevlebrug connects several artificial islands within the Houthaven district through a fixed span structure with characteristic brick abutments and lifting towers.

Originally built in 1930 near Central Station as bridge 276, the structure was dismantled in 2001 and relocated to Houthaven after thorough renovation.

The bridge design follows the Amsterdam School architectural movement principles, featuring decorative brickwork and geometric patterns typical of early 20th-century Dutch construction.

The structure now incorporates an entrance to an underground parking facility while serving as a connection point for vehicles and pedestrians in the neighborhood.

Named after the Swedish port of Gävle, this bridge represents the historical timber trade relationships between Amsterdam and Baltic Sea cities.
