The Bolwerkersmolen and Wilhelminabrug in Deventer during sunset.
The bridge over the river IJssel was built between 1939 and 1943, but was blown up by the German occupation army at the retreat in April 1945. After liberation, it was rebuilt according to the original design and recommissioned in 1948. The steel arch bridge has stone-finished concrete abutments and river piers, but the city-side access ramp partly rests on modern-designed concrete piers. For this ramp, the Deventer river port, which dates back to the Middle Ages, was filled in. At this location, a cage structure intended as a temporary structure was placed under the bridge in 2005 to house a car park.
The Wilhelmina Bridge replaced the ship bridge that from 1600 was a distinguished connection between the West and East Netherlands and beyond. In the first 25 years of its existence, the bridge was an important link in the E8, today's E30, the car route from Hook of Holland to Berlin. In 1972, south of Deventer, the bridge in the A1 came into use, since then the Wilhelmina Bridge has only been of regional significance.
