Netkousbrug, Green Connection bicycle bridge
The bridge de Groene Verbinding is 190 meters long and crosses the Betuwe line (train) and the national highway A15 without a support point at a height of 9 meters. The bicycle and pedestrian bridge is very similar to the Netkousbrug of the Randstadrail in The Hague, which was designed by architectural firm Zwarts & Jansma.
Construction The Green Link
The bridge consists of a two-piece steel construction made in Vlissingen by the firm VDS Staalbouw. In August 2013, the bridge was transported in 2 parts, with lengths of 100 and 90 meters and a weight of 350 and 325 tons, by pontoon from the manufacturer to Rotterdam, and then from the Waalhaven by trailer over the A15 to its destination.
