Thursday Postcard Hunt | Waalbrug

Several views from the Waalbrug, an arch bridge over the river Waal, in Nijmegen.

It  was opened on 16 June 1936. The full length of the Waalbrug is 604 metres, the middle of the arch being about 65 metres  high. The arch itself is 244.1 metres long and was the longest arch in Europe at the time of construction.





All these postcards were sent by Heleen (the Netherlands). I had uploaded some of them to this post, with matching stamps.

      Actually, I haven't seen it in person. I'd like to!

  2. I have seen this bridge. I think I'd be more impressed seeing it now (I have a much greater appreciation for bridges and their engineering). It is neat to have so many views of the same bridge.

  3. I always love an arch reflections and there seems to be so much going on around the bridge in the other cards.

  4. I like the first one best, the peek of the bridge and the lovely blue and silhouettes.

    1. Although we see less of the bridge on that postcard, it is a very nice picture.
