Passerelle: City as Workout

The Melkwegbrug:

Melkwegbrug-Purmerend-1

.

From Pop-up City:

Designed by Amsterdam-based NEXT  Architects, the extraordinary structure connects the new neighborhood  Weidevenne with the old town center.  … The bridge spans 66 meters over  the Noordhollandsch Kanaal and consists of one part for pedestrians and another  part for cyclists or wheel chairs. At it’s highest point, the bridge is 12  meters above the water level.

After climbing a significant amount of stairs, and having reached the top of the  bridge, you will get a stunning view of the city of Purmerend. The stairs are  lit at night with energy-efficient LED lights, which on itself also provides an  attractive piece of architecture to gaze at.
