Schiethaven bridge Zaandam


The bridge over the Schiethaven Canal is part of the project Southern Ring Road of the Municipality Zaanstad that was started to create a logical and fast road link between the IJmond and Amsterdam. The movable bridge section has been constructed as a bascule bridge. The roadway moves sloping upwards in a skewed fashion. VBK Hoorn gave A.P. van den Berg the order to design, manufacture, deliver and assemble the hydraulic drive system.
