Zeeland Bridge

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Zeeland Bridge (Dutch: Zeelandbrug) is the longest bridge in the Netherlands. It connects the islands of Schouwen-Duiveland and Noord-Beveland in the province of Zeeland.

The Zeeland Bridge was built between 1963 and 1965. It has a total length of 5,022 meters, and consists of 48 spans of 95 meters, 2 spans of 72.5 meters and a movable bridge with a width of 40 meters.

The province of Zeeland paid for the construction of the bridge, and the costs were recovered by levying tolls.
