Description
The Paleisbrug was designed to connect the historic city centre and the Spoorzone in ‘s-Hertogenbosch, although it is much more than that. The bridge is a park and pedestrian bridge in one. The Paleisbrug itself is not just a beautiful bridge. It also offers wonderful views of the surrounding Bossche Broek and Gement landscape.
The Paleisbrug is 250 metres long, 10 metres wide and weighs 1300 tonnes. It has space for a lift, walking areas, plants, trees, benches and lighting, all integrated in curved and welded Corten steel. The plants are illuminated, as are the benches and paths, which makes the Paleisbrug a nice place for a stroll, even at night.
