Moses Bridge

    Newer Older

    This bridge built by RO&AD Architecten links the banks of a moat in Halsteren, Netherlands, that was once part of the West Brabant Water Line, a defense line dating from the 17th century.

    The originality of the design lies in sinking the bridge below the water line to reduce its impact on the moat outlines, in effect parting the water to let pedestrians cross, hence its nickname: "the Moses bridge".

      Bah, le plus gros danger venait de ces adorables enfants, occupés à se lancer des poignées d'algues à travers le pont :)
