This bridge, also known as number 238 in amsterdam, has a real beautiful railing made in 1965 by sculptor Herman van der Heide . As this is an modern bridge with 4 car lanes and 2 cycle paths the railing must be very sturdy to keep sliding cars out of the water in case of an accident. Oh and this bridge is also a modern cantilever one that can open for boats. Herman v.der Heide made 2 more bridge railings together with the bridge designer and architect Dirk Sterenberg along the same canal called "the Nieuwe Herengracht".
One for friday fences here.
Very nice! Not sure it would prevent a small child from falling in, but an attractive barrier nonetheless.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenit has a great look, but like rev said, not very safe
BeantwoordenVerwijdereni like that it's so decorative as well as serves an important purpose. love the look along the canal!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI really like this...lovely view
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI would love to live near a city with a place like this...it looks like such a pleasant area!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenIt certainly is different.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenand since the roads don't have fencing alongside the canals, I don't really see the problem re: safety.
Very modern and artistic. I do like this effect.
