This cycle and pedestrian bridge is the longest in the Netherlands, spanning the Rijn Kanaal in the IJburg district of Amsterdam. The result of a close collaboration between architects and engineers, the Nesciobrug provides a vital connection for residents of IJburg, a suburb built on recently reclaimed land north of the city, with the 'mainland'. Simultaneously, it provides access to the extensive green space of the Diemerpark for the people of Amsterdam.
