Slauerhoffbrug

The Slauerhoffbrug in Leeuwarden is a movable bridge.

The peculiarity of this bridge is the movement, because the bridge with a bridge deck of 15x15x0, 5 meters rotates when opening with 45 ° away. Since the main and cross beams are missing and the design thickness is low, the bridge can be moved into the imposing height and optimum headroom can be achieved. The counter- weight of the structure is built next to the road, so that at the same time opens up another peculiarity when lowering, because then " merges " the bridge again with the road.
