This special bridge in Nijmegen was built in 2013. In memory of 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 across it bear the name 'De Oversteek'.
As a tribute to these men, the bridge is equipped with 48 pairs of light posts which, when the city lights are switched on, go on pair by pair from south (Nijmegen) to north (Lent), in the tempo of a slow march. This work of light art, 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 while lighting the 48 lights one by one.
