Zandhazenbrug, Railway bridge in Hakkelaarsbrug, Netherlands.

The Zandhazenbrug spans 255 meters across the A1 motorway near Muiderberg, featuring tilted and curved arches made of high-strength steel construction.

The bridge construction started in 2015 as part of the Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere-Lelystad public transport project, replacing a concrete viaduct from 1987.

The name Zandhazenbrug derives from the nickname given to residents of Muiderberg, who were known as 'sand hares' in Dutch tradition.

The structure carries two railway tracks at 50 meters height, enabling trains to operate between Amsterdam and Flevopolder while accommodating highway traffic below.

Engineers transported the entire 8500-ton bridge structure overnight using 236 axles, completing the movement in six and a half hours.
