This is my reaction to Crazy Dutch Bridges
In this video I react to Dutch architecture that is seen Dutch bridges around the Netherlands and how they are interesting and unique.
Original Video - • Crazy Dutch Bridges • ...
my fav bridge is the Schiphol plane bridge, its a bridge that goes over a highway and its for planes that landed on a landing strip on the other side. Its quite surreal seeing a plane drive over you while you drive under it.
Great thing is that there is not just one but multiple of them at Schiphol!
And they're building a brand new two-way crossing right now...😊
It's not a bridge.
The road is a tunnel.
@@Be-Es---___ no there are actually 2 bridges before you enter te tunnel coming from Hoofddorp
@@Be-Es---___ you never been in a plane going over the bridge?, theres a river next to the highway which the plane also goes over so unless you think the river is a tunnel too, its a bridge. And its called a avioduct which means a bridge for planes
Probably my favorite bridge is the Moerputtenbrug, a bridge over a swamp like area for a railway that is abandoned. Yet it is accessible for pedestrians only. It's kind of surreal, because you wolk through the forest and then you get to this bridge.
Another one I like is the lift bridge in Boskoop over the Gouwe. It gives Boskoop kind of an industrial look, like you are in the centre of Rotterdam. Up and down the stream of the Gouwe is also such a bridge (3 in total). Near the bridge in Boskoop is one of the best ice cream shops of the Netherlands (Janssen).
My favourite bridge is the one in Nijmegen. (Where I live btw)
The bridge is on the site of the Waal crossing of 20 September 1944, an assault across the river by soldiers of the US 504th Parachute Infantry during Operation Market Garden. The bridge was named after this event, which in Dutch is known as De Oversteek.
The 1944 crossing has remained a theme of the bridge. During the opening ceremony, veterans of the assault and their relatives were present, and tributes were paid to those who died.
Since 19 October 2014, a daily Sunset March has taken place across the bridge. Led by a military veteran, the bridge's 48 street lights light up one by one at the pace of the march, in tribute to the 48 soldiers who died in the crossing. Citizens can join the veteran.
Iconische Brug over de Waal, en mijn Oma woonde in de Gitaarstraat.
There is a worldfamous roundabout bikebridge, "De Hovenring"

First bridge is in Leeuwarden, my hometown. It looks nice, but it's a pain in the ass. It's slowwwww
Mede Leeuwarder hier, helemaal mee eens!

5:05 I'm Dutch and I've never seen a bridge similar to this. I've seen plenty of bridges that open for boats but this particular bridge especially looks amazing. It's as if it's a 3D animation, almost fake. Stunning.
My favourite Dutch bridge is the Zeelandbrug, I think it's very elegant in its simplicity.
I just came back from Edinburgh, and the Forth Bridge is now my favourite bridge in the world (the original train bridge that is). What an absolute beast of a bridge, and really impressive how they built that in the 1880's ♥
The Roman bridge is the Servaas bridge in Maastricht. It was partially destroyed in the Second Great Unpleasantness but was rebuilt because it is the oldest (not quite) surviving bridge in the Netherlands.
My favorite one is in Amsterdam De magere brug. The skinny bridge, LOVE YOURE REACTIONS BY THE WAY! Also please have a look at : One the schoulders of gigants .Op de schouders van reuzen. It gives you inside of how we stop the water comming in!
My favorite bridge is in my hometown of Montfoort (Utrecht province). It's a 'cirular' bridge. When it opens, the bridge just turns from east to west to north to south. That way ships can go left and right passing the bridge. It also acts a lock. If the hinterland needs more water for their farms and orchards, they just lower it a bit and upstream the river rises a little.
Interesting bridges are ‘vlotbruggen’ that actually float on the water and can be moved to the side to let ships pass, maybe you can find a clip somewhere…
I'm from Rotterdam and beside the Erasmusbrige, the Willemsbridge (the red one) is also beautifull, but my favourite is the old railwaybridge near the Willemsbridge.
my favourite is the “pontjesbrug” in Willemstad,curacao! So not actually in the Netherlands but Dutch territory..
I remember that Slauerhoff bridge (that diagonal, weird one from the opening scene)😋 Had to sail under it when sailing around Friesland.... That bridge is _well_ slow, by the way; I could feel the salty hate coming from all the traffic having to wait for me while I enjoyed a nice drink😂
My favourite bridge is the 'Martinus Nijhoffbrug' at Zaltbommel. Very elegant, widely made, great view over the Waal-river with sight on Zaltbommel. It's called after the Dutch poet that wrote a poem about Zaltbommel. First sentence of the poem translated: 'I went to Zaltbommel to see the bridge'. Best choice for a name for a nice bridge.
I like the bridges on the Dutch euro currency. Fun fact: These bridges did not exist but in Spijkenisse, in the Netherlands, they build them as part of an applied art project. So now you can take a walk in Spijkenisse and see these bridges in life size.
The fun thing about that is that the bridges on the euro bills were purposefully designed to not match any existing bridges, because they did not want to portray specific countries. They aren't Dutch euro currency. The euro banknotes, unlike the coins, are the same everywhere. And then in Spijkenisse they were like "let's build them all".
@@jbird4478albeit they were built at very small scale. They’re real bridges, but not sized as the picture would indicatez
Well, not in the Netherlands, but just some 5 km south of the border in Belgium there’s a still functioning, original WWII Bailey bridge. Impressive how it is still standing. And beautiful in a functional way.
my favourite bridge is obviously Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam where i live hahaha.
you should seriously come to The Netherlands to check it out man.!
We also have "de Zeelandbrug" it's 5 kilometers long and cross the oosterschelde
Rotterdam is definitely a place to visit for people interested in architecture ranging from the old Sint-Laurens Church (origins from first build 1449) to Europe's first skyscraper White House (1898 43 m /141 ft tall) to something more recent like the Depot from Museum Boijmans Van Beuningen (2021) which is shaped like a bowl which is completely covered with mirror reflective plates, with a great variety in bridges as well, for one of my favorite icons from Rotterdam in regard to bridges is: De Hef (since 1927) which is a former railway bridge. Rotterdam experimented a lot with architecture specially after WWII when most of the city center was leveled by intense bombing from the Germans.
I’m from Rotterdam, so there’s a lot to choose from ;-) But for ‘being intriguing’ it’s the bridge at Schiphol Airport, where you see very large planes taxiing across the highway. And the aquaduct at Gouda, where a waterway crosses over the road.
There's a more impressive one near Magdeburg in Germany, the Magdeburg Water Bridge, where one waterway crosses another one. The Elbe below, a canal above.
The Ringvaartaquaduct is also pretty nice even if most people don't really notice it.
@@rschroev I’ll look it up on Google Earth, but that’s a long way from home; Gouda is only 20 km away…
Thanks for showing this. Never seen the video
My favorite are the avioducts on Schihol airport.
Nice the fin like one you liked with the red bricks is known as de oversteek and is in my birthplace Nijmegen.
If you want to see how movie makers use these Rotterdam bridges, check out the Jackie Chan classic "Who Am I?" Oh! and my dad used to work in that building at 8:13 until the mid 1970s
Second bridge is Brug Elsloo. It is about 60 years old and it replaced a bridge from the 1930's what has been blown up during WW2. It is typical steel girder bridge and is recently been renovated (it has been painted green during renovation, previous the color was dark purple/red)
I think Amsterdam has more than a thousand bridges btw.
Red bricks are, at the moment very popular for houses in the Netherlands
I live in the centre of Amsterdam, and on my 8 minute tram ride to work i cross 7 bridges!
I'm from Leeuwarden.
And I actually dislike the Slauerhoff bridge. Yes it looks nice. But it is is incredibly "slow". It takes forever for it to open and close.
Used it on a daily basis when cycling to and from work. Especially when they were working on Europaplein and the fastest way for me was via Westeinde.
Check out the Hovenring floating cycling roundabout in Eindhoven
And the Arnhem bridge, iconic, and historic because of 1944..
My hometown of Haarlem is not a very big city, however we do have quite a large variety of bridges. The river Spaarne flowes through the city, and divides it into a western & an eastern part. One of the nicest bridges are the Catharijne & Melk bridges. These date back to the late 19th and early 20th century. The bridges turn on their axes, and swing open by rotating. Back in the old days, my grandparent would wait on the bridge itself, to close again so that they could get to the other side. Nowadays it’s deemed too dangerous of course.
the floating bicycle roundabout/bridge in Eindhoven.
Maybe another video about the ways to cross a waterway? There’s of course the normal ferries, but also a lot of ‘do it yourself’ little ‘pull ferries’, where on foot or by bike you can cross the water on a small platform by pulling a rope or operating the rope by turning a wheel. One just south of Amsterdam has a variation where volunteers (during summer weekends) operate the crossing by hooking some ancient wooden contraption onto the rope .
The bridge that opens to the side in high is probably higher ships (masts) can pass
For me the Nescio bridge in Amsterdam... But i was part the opening
The best Dutch bridges... Every Euro note carries a picture of an imaginary bridge on the back side. They used imaginary bridges rather than existing ones so that no country could lay claim to the euro note with their bridge on it. Well... until an architect decided to actually build these bridges in a smaller form, for pedestrians and cyclists, in Spijkenisse. So we own all of the euro bridges now!
A video about dutch bridges and they don't even show the one one where the boats go on top and the cars underneath. ua-cam.com/video/DOfgGoMW_X0/v-deo.html
And pretty cool 1 off the 3 bridges I drive over everyday to work has this 1886 plaque... good god nearly 140 years old and it's still well used letting traffic pass over top and underneath. Bet it was all manual before the electric motors.
There are many bridges I use often to cross many canals and the river Lek around utrecht
I quite like the Python bridge in Amsterdam as it reminds me of a snake or even a dragon.
Title names a bridge in Rotterdam while showing a bridge in Leeuwarden :D
Middelburg have nice bridges
krakkemikke bridge in sletjeskil is unbelievable
I like the ones that show off the counterweights and general physics. When school kids truthfully, for a change, claim to be late for school because the bridge was open, they have at least learned something about physics and engineering.
The Amsterdam school of architecture is by far the most interesting. A few things come togehter: It's often social housing with a vision to make society better through architecture, and not just for those who live in it. It also has a lot of Indonesian influences on an art deco base, and it's mostly in brick which is of course fitting to a watery country. Dutch brick layers used to be the best, they could do sculptures in brick. I'm afraid there are no good English or English subbed video's on it. This is the best I could find in English.

Another interesting one is about this 60's office building, showcasing not only architecture but also the relation with Dutch work culture.

This series about the renovation of the Rijksmuseum is about a lot more than architecture, but also interesting.

"Its creative hè" 😂
The first bridge is not in Rotterdam but in Leeuwarden
Slauerhoff brug
Ook een mooie brug is de draaiende van de afsluitdijk
Trompbrug in Groningen.
Only accessible for bikes and pedestrians.
Amsterdam has most bridges, more than 1200. Probably also more iconic than any city. But Rotterdam has a lot too..
Are you Scottish? Would be great to learn about all sorts of things Scotland is responsible for.
You will love a bridge for water the aquaduct .
I had two great relevant suggestions, but this comment section doesn't accept YT links! 🤷🏻♂️✌🏼
Bruh wtf I live like 3 minutes away from the first bridge
1 min team
