Bridge

This huge ship at the river Amstel had to pass the Nieuwe Amstel bridge in Amsterdam.

The barriers went down for the traffic and pedestrians.

And up goes the bridge.

Traffic comes to  a halt.



And there we go again!

  3. That's fun to watch. I worked in Chicago for 3 years and my apartment was across the street from the Chicago River. All the bridges on the river raised like this so I would see them go up and down all the time. I loved watching them. Thanks for the memories.

  5. We have some of those lift bridges in South Carolina and people get very impatient waiting for the boats. Most have been replaced by high bridges that allow all boats to pass under and cars over top and hurrying on their way.

  6. Ah, it's one of those bridges! We have a couple of bridges that shift to make way for taller boats, both on the Canal, but the techniques are a bit different.

  7. Love this kind of bridge Marianne, we have a much smaller one at the marina that rises when tall boats go through ✨
