In the Netherlands you have all over the country special enginering buildings, bridges, dams. All kinds of stuff ☺️ i love it. Also very beautifil to cycle almost everywhere! Love it
at 0:39 at the right side another bridge turning, im getting the impression that the netherlands is Hogwarts in real life
Marvellous piece of engineering !!!
Indeed cool bridge deck.
amazing thanks showing us this video
Pretty awesome indeed :D
Imagine the surprise that might be expected if a careless driver goes on the drawbridge as it already starts to open and ends up making a bee line for the water. And when the drawbridge completely opens up, part of the roadway becomes a wall. Literally.
Cool!!
Awesome bridge, I love it when people decide to do something cool instead of the same old - same old.
The same type bridge is the Kanaalbrug in Leiden in The Netherlands.
What camera are you using?
These hundreds of motorists must have been pretty angry at the boats deciding to return halfway and go back where they came from :)
Some boats go to the left others to right.
awsome
Are you in Netherlands?
Al zijn er brugdekken die nog schuiner over het water liggen.
De provinciale weg van Woerdense Verlaat richting Nieuwkoop, daarbij waar Oudenhallen zit/zat.
What is the purpose of the angle?
The engineer who designed it, smoked to much grass.
EnigmaDrath If that was the case then they could still open it in the same plane as the road. The angle is just decoration.
True you could still just open it in the same plane as the road, but then you're either not lifting up the entire cross section with the waterway (which is an accident risk) or you're lifting up more of the road than needed(which makes both construction and each operation of the bridge more expensive). The angle exists to minimize the amount of road deck being lifted while not introducing a collision hazard for the ships passing through.

They say the Germans are the best engineers. I would go for the Dutch every time. "Hey, Mother Nature, please excuse us but we need a chunk of your ocean. Thanks!" ...and they do these bridges just for fun...
Gaaf weet je ook waar? Of zijn dat meer provinciale wegen?
Why?

Probably is more quick to open and close and more efficient in power or material costs.(less counterweight required)
Imagine it like a balancing beam, you shift weight to 1 side for it to drop and other side to lift. The more length you need to lift, the more counterweight you need and power to shift that counterweight around.
Because the canal isn't crossed at a 90 degree angle by the highway.
Any other solution would have meant:
* - A wider bridge, or a narrower canal .
*- Or bends in the highway, or bends in the canal.

I don't know why they don't built higher bridge?
Probably because that would have taken much more space and/or have been much more expensive.
High bridges are loud. Trucks rev up the engines to get up there and from such a high point the noise reaches much further. If anything else, an aqueduct or tunnel would be the suitable alternative. You see a lot of them in the Netherlands.
Talking about noise. This bridge is on short final rwy 27 at Schiphol

What do you mean, "Loud?" I can't hear anything from the bridge with this loud music going.

(above me)
What do you mean, "NOISE?" I couldn't hear anything from the bridge with this loud music playing. I had to mute it, so I don't go deaf.
Meanwhile yanks drive over cheaply built bridges with outdates designs that haven't been maintained in over 50 years.
