Aquarians, 22 bridges

Bridge type 2.

Words from the architect

One can easily say that, in spite of the Delta works, the power and force of the water have only increased in the Netherlands. It has mainly adjusted its tactics. Instead of brute force, she now throws in all her charms and is slowly finding her way to areas far outside the polders, to the highest and driest places in the country. Following the slogan of 'living by the water' she takes great pleasure in flowing elegantly into new residential areas and is starting to seem unstoppable. This is also the case for Den Bosch, in the new residential area of De Grote Wielen, where waterways were built before roads.

Bridge type 2.

It can hardly, therefore, be called a miracle that the 22 bridges in Den Bosch feel attracted to the water. Infrastructure constructions such as bridges and tunnels have always courageously resisted gravity and water pressure. It has been of no use, the water has already arrived in Brabant. This time no unbending bravery but graceful cooperation instead. If you can't beat them... Just like Bambi seeing her facial traits for the first time in the reflection of a lake, these bridges beam with pure delight. Who would ever have thought of that, having the ideal of beauty at arm's length.
