Nescio Bridge 2, Rhine Canal, Amsterdam

Posted by Pouhou (Haarlem, Netherlands) on 28 January 2009 in Cityscape & Urban and Portfolio.

The 790m long Nesciobrug (Nescio Bridge) crosses the Rhine Canal in Amsterdam, enabling pedestrians and cyclists to travel to and from the city's newly reclaimed suburb of IJburg.

As Holland’s first suspension bridge, the Nesciobrug shows what is possible with modern structural design. Cyclists and pedestrians follow fluent, curving alignments, supported by a minimal system of cables and masts.
