Bridge 527

The structure is located on the Duizendmeterweg in the Amsterdamse Bos and has the same architectural style as bridge 525. The design of the plate bridge came from the pen of Piet Kramer. The simply executed bridge is made of concrete but rests on wooden supports, and it does not resemble the Amsterdam School style used by Kramer. Characteristic for Kramer are the wrought iron balustrades, which are blue in this case. Although they are executed as simply as the bridge, the vertical posts are bent downwards at the location of the abutments and end in the concrete. Unlike most bridges in the Amsterdamse Bos, this is a traffic bridge, over which motorized vehicles can also drive. To prevent parking on the bridge and/or as a separation between the different traffic flows, hog backs have been placed.
