The client
Rijkswaterstaat
Working together for a safe, liveable, and accessible Netherlands. That’s Rijkswaterstaat.
The challenge
Building on busy transport routes
Constructing a new movable bridge on a busy road and waterway requires precision and tight planning. The A44 must remain as open as possible to traffic during construction, while also allowing continued passage for ships. That’s why a phased approach was chosen. The first part of the new bridge is built while traffic continues to use the existing bridge. Once vehicles can cross via the new section, the old bridge is demolished and the second part is built.
This phased construction ensures both safe traffic flow and presents a technical challenge. Both the temporary and final configurations must meet all standards and regulations. It’s a complex interplay of disciplines—from civil and mechanical engineering to electrical systems and traffic management.
