IJsselspoorbrug, Railway bridge in Zutphen, Netherlands
The IJsselspoorbrug is a railway bridge in Zutphen that crosses the IJssel River and links the rail lines between Arnhem and Leeuwarden. It spans about 90 meters and carries train traffic across the waterway.
The bridge was built in 1865 under architect Nicolaas Hendrik Nierstrasz and marked an important advance in Dutch railway infrastructure. It was part of the major railway expansion programs the country undertook during the 19th century.
The bridge forms a connection in the Netherlands' rail network, linking two important railway lines. It remains an active part of daily commuter routes across the country.
The best way to see this bridge is from the banks of the IJssel River, where the structure stands clear against the water. Visitors can view the structure from the railway line or from the riverside areas.
The structure is a rare example of 19th-century railway architecture that still carries modern trains daily. This shows how some older structures have successfully passed the test of time while maintaining their original purpose.
