5 euro bridge

The 5 Euro Bridge is a pedestrian crossing in Nissewaard whose concrete elements replicate the design patterns of the five euro banknote. The structure displays characteristic arches and columns that match the visual language of that currency.

The bridge opened in 2011 as part of architect Robin Stam's project to transform euro banknotes into built structures. The initiative took place in Spijkenisse and eventually included a total of seven such creatively designed structures.

The bridge takes its name from the five euro note and mirrors that currency's visual design in its structure. Visitors immediately notice how abstract money imagery has been transformed into real architecture.

The bridge sits near Groenoordweg and provides direct access to adjoining residential neighborhoods. Free parking is available and Spijkenisse Medical Center is easy to reach.

Few realize this bridge is part of a creative series where each structure embodies a different euro banknote design. It represents a playful interpretation of currency as public art.
