Melkwegbridge, Purmerend, Netherlands
The Melkwegbridge by NEXT Architects and Rietveld Landscape, crosses the Noordhollandsch Kanaal connecting the historic city centre with the growing Weidevenne district, and is the first part of a masterplan for the canal and its surrounding area.
It has a steep arched upper level for pedestrians and a zig-zagging lower pass for cyclists and wheelchairs, the arch rises to 12 metres allowing boats to pass beneath, where as the lower level is split in two, and swings
open when boats are approaching.
