    I think what happened here is that the Netherlands have always been a great place for civil engineers to find work, which meant many of the most ambitious civil engineers moved there, and then after centuries of competition and one-upmanship, it’s gradually been transformed into a civil engineering fairytale wonderland.

    As someone regularily renting sail yachts in the Netherlands I highly appreciate those bridges getting out of way almost everywhere. And I do really like it, how they aim for variety and style in their solutions. There is no modern "the Dutch bridge 08/15 style" blueprint used and only very old small bridges tend to be similar and plain simple. So my respect and admiration go to our neighbours for going the extra mile on beautiful technical solutions.

      I don't know about this particular bridge, but I grew up near a drawbridge across the entrance to the local harbour. During summer it was a popular pastime to jump from the closed bridge. And with the bridge keeper being positioned on the side of the bridge's hinges, there'd regularly be people hanging from the rising end of the bridge. You'd of course have to time your release right; too early and you'd hit the abutment on the near side, too late and you'd hit the abutment or hydraulic cylinder at the other side. And you'd have to watch out for boats crossing under the bridge. Needless to say all this was illegal, but like you said, teenagers ;)

At least this one looks cool, they just need to crank up the speed dial a bit...

      @Dutch3DMaster 2 роки тому

      In some cases the mast might make the ship larger in total length. Given how some of the ships will probably need to make a turn after the left side of this bridge (left in the video, that is) it might not allow for enough time to raise it back up.
      Typically a bridge will open for ships that can't pass otherwise, so there might also have ships that were invisible on this video who can't lower anything for who it had to be opened. With some bridges you have to wait with several ships before getting clearance, to avoid to much disruptions, so big chance there were 3-4 or more ships waiting and they passed as well when the ones who can't lower anything passed the same spot.

    Well that's the strangest bridge I've ever seen. Like a cantilever on a single Pivot Point. Amazing

    It’s such a shame that in our country, something like this would be seen as an utter waste of money, because all that people care about it practically and functionality. The idea of art has gone out the window and the best of our art is worse than the worst of European art. The Europeans still respect that construction and architecture can still be an art. UK and US, don’t give a blinker as long as it works. Oh and both the UK and US suffer from increasing violence and unrest. I’ll always be jealous of Europe for the respect they show for artistic and creative minds.

    Very nice arrangement. Liked it. How is this arrangement better than sliding that piece of bridge horizontally on a pair of rails? Just a casual question.

    A standard draw bridge is 10 times faster and a whole lot cheaper.

    Great engineering, but I think skyway of high elevation is more efficient.

      Only slightly longer wait time than some rail crossings. Also, it's not like draw bridges are anything new.
