Reflection. The Waal Bridge reflected in a pool of water. It was a bit of a search to get the whole bridge nicely weathered, but fortunately the net fit. It gives a very different view of this beautiful bridge! The Waal Bridge near Nijmegen is a busy traffic route for traffic in and out of the city. The Waal Bridge is an arch bridge over the Waal that connects the center of Nijmegen with Lent. The bridge is part of the N325 and the city route S100. The bridge is an important connection in the route to Arnhem. The full length of the Waal bridge is 604 meters, and it is about 65 meters high in the middle of the arch. The largest span, the arch itself, is 244.10 meters long, and on completion in 1936 was the longest arc voltage in Europe. In contrast to many other bridges from the same period and with the same construction, such as the IJssel bridge near Zwolle, the John S. Thompson bridge near Grave and the John Frost bridge near Arnhem, the Waal bridge is unique, because it is an arch bridge in the literal sense of the word. ; the transfer of the forces actually rests in the two pillars. A bus lane is located on the western side of the Waalbrug. The bridge has a cycle path on both sides with a narrow pedestrian strip. The bridge was green first, from 1980 it was painted light beige.
