500 euro bridge

The 500 euro bridge is a crossing in Nissewaard featuring concrete panels that replicate a well-known European bridge design. The structure spans two parallel canals and links residential areas in the Het Land district.

The bridge opened in 2013 as the final project in a series inspired by European banknote designs. The project was part of a creative initiative to shape the neighborhood with international design elements.

The bridge displays an architectural pattern taken from the reverse of European banknotes. It connects residents through an unusual design that intertwines currency culture with construction.

The bridge is easily accessible for pedestrians and cyclists, offering a straightforward route between neighborhoods. A visit is possible at any time of year since the structure is stable and well-maintained.

It is the only known collection of bridges worldwide that replicates architectural patterns from actual banknotes. Each bridge in the series represents a different European currency value and was built in a residential neighborhood.
