10 euro bridge, Bridge structure in Nissewaard, Netherlands.
The 10 Euro Bridge is a pedestrian crossing in Spijkenisse whose structure translates the visual features of the matching banknote into built form. The structure spans across a waterway and displays concrete architectural details that draw directly from the currency design.
The structure was officially opened in 2011 as part of an unusual urban initiative. It belongs to a series of bridges each named after euro banknotes that reinterpret currency through urban design.
The bridge takes its name from the currency note whose design it reflects in its physical form. It demonstrates how a everyday symbol of money has been woven into the city's physical landscape.
The bridge is easily reached on foot from the surrounding area since it is well integrated into the green space nearby. Visitors should come during daylight hours when the surrounding area and the structure's design are fully visible.
The project consists of multiple bridges with each one representing a different euro banknote - it is the only collection of its kind in the world. This unusual concept playfully links currency and public infrastructure together.
