Best Bridge in netherlands

R	Robin Irwin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Romans built a wooden bridge across the Meuse in what is now Maastricht, in approximately AD 50, and the Latin phrase for "crossing of the Meuse", "mosae trajectum", became the name of the city. For many years this remained the only crossing of the lower Meuse. However, the Roman bridge collapsed in the year 1275 from the weight of a large procession, killing 400 people. Its replacement, the present bridge, was built somewhat to the north of the older crossing between 1280 and 1298. The Roman Catholic Church encouraged its construction by providing indulgences to people who helped build it. The bridge was accoladed in honor of Saint Servatius around this time. The bridge was renovated in 1680, and in 1825 a wooden strutwork section on the east side of the bridge was replaced by a stone arch. In 1850, as part of the construction of the Maastricht-Liège Canal, a channel was cut on the west side of the bridge. When in the early 1930s the bridge had been relieved of its function as the city's only river crossing by the construction of the Wilhelmina bridge, 300 metres (1,000 ft) downstream, a major renovation was performed.

H	Helena Sunny on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Considered as the Oldest Bridge in Netherlands, Sint Servaasbrug was built in the 13th century named after the first Bishop of Maastricht. Across Meuse River, this beautiful Pedestrian Bridge is constructed with limestone arches and a steel draw-bridge at the Eastern End, which was added in the 1930s. You won't miss it I believe, if you visit Maastricht. Two photos of different angles.

K	Kate Peng on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ A beautiful bridge. It looked different in the morning and at night. It was romantic sitting on the river bank. Nice spot for taking pictures too. I had a great time here. It’s way better than in the picture.
I	Ishanka Hasaranga on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The beautiful and ancient foot bridge in Maastricht. Only pedestrians and cyclists can cross the bridge now. It's one of the oldest bridges in Netherlands if not the oldest. Nice photo spot for sure.
