20 euro bridge, Urban bridge in Nissewaard, Netherlands
The 20 euro bridge is a crossing in Nissewaard whose concrete surfaces and architectural details copy the pattern from the 20 euro note. The structure spans across water or roadway with visible geometric shapes that recall the security features found on banknotes.
The bridge was built in 2011 following a design by Robin Stam as part of a series of crossings for different euro note values. It marked the start of a larger project that transformed banknote design into actual architecture.
The bridge brings together everyday transport and European banknotes since its forms come directly from the 20 euro note design. Walking across it shows how major art influences ordinary public structures.
Parking near the bridge along Groenoordweg is free with no time restrictions. This makes it straightforward for visitors to arrive at their own pace and cross it whenever suits them.
This crossing is part of a complete set of seven bridges in Spijkenisse that recreate all euro banknote denominations. Together they form an unusual art project that playfully connects the world of finance with public space.
