Temporary Visserbrug Replacement Ready for Use
Temporary bridge allows pedestrians and cyclists to cross while repairs on original Visserbrug continue.
Today, pedestrians and cyclists will once again be able to cross the Visserbrug without taking a detour, as the temporary replacement bridge is set to open. The original Visserbrug has been out of service since July, when it was removed for repairs after a broken hinge was discovered, making it unsafe to operate. The repairs are expected to take one and a half to two years.
The temporary bridge, installed two weeks ago, had some final work done before being made available for use. It is a movable sliding bridge, allowing both pedestrians, cyclists, and shipping traffic to continue without disruption.
