The Damiatebrug or Damiatenbrug drawbridge is an iron bridge in the city of Dordrecht, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The bridge has been designated a national monument since 1990. The bridge is built over the Wolwevershaven and connects two quays, the Wolwevershaven and the Kuipershaven. [2]
The name of the bridge was taken from the old wooden bridge that used to be on that spot, and it comes from the timber trade Damiate that stood nearby in the 17th century. The current double iron drawbridge was built in 1855 to the design of George Nicolaas Itz. The Damiatebrug was opened in April 1855 but collapsed in May 1855, because the combination of cast iron and wrought iron turned out to be too weak. The bridge was restored in 1857, with cast iron largely replaced by wrought iron. The bridge was electrified in 1964.
