Rijnhavenbrug

The Rijnhavenbrug is a bright red, serpentine pedestrian bridge that snakes across the water to connect the Kop van Zuid with the Katendrecht neighborhood. It opened in two thousand twelve as a vital link for local residents, but the steel structure carries a heavier history than its sleek design suggests. The bridge occupies a spot where massive steamships once docked to carry migrants toward America. Today, its distinct color and curve mark a path for pedestrians where laborers once moved heavy cargo.
