About ""The Crossing" at high tide"

About the artwork

The water in the river Waal was at its highest point here, giving a nice effect with the lighting of the bridge "De Oversteek". I was on the Lent side. Using a small aperture, the lights turned into stars.

To commemorate the 1944 Waal crossing by members of the US Army 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment (PIR) of the 82nd Airborne Division, the bridge and the road over it bears the name 'The Crossing' (Eng: The Crossing). Present at the opening of the bridge were two World War II veterans and relatives of the 48 soldiers killed in the action.

As a tribute to these men, the bridge is equipped with 48 pairs of light poles that light up pair after pair from south (Nijmegen) to north (Lent) after the city lights are switched on, at the pace of a slow march. This light artwork, called Lights Crossing, was conceived by Atelier Veldwerk. Since 19 October 2014, as a daily tribute, every evening at sunset at least one veteran walks the so-called Sunset March across the bridge during the one-by-one lighting of the 48 lights
