Spijkenisse Eurobridges

Common card · No. 379544

The Spijkenisse Eurobridges (Dutch: Spijkenisser Eurobruggen) are an applied arts project in the city of Spijkenisse, in the Dutch province of South Holland. The project was built in the residential area Het Land. The bridges were designed to represent the images on the reverse of euro banknotes. The bridges of the 10 and 50 euro banknotes were opened on 26 October 2011 by the then Queen's commissioner of South Holland, Jan Franssen. The 5 and 20 eurobridges were placed after, with only one side representing the banknotes. The 200 eurobridge opened on 17 October 2012. The final eurobridges, representing the 100 and 500 banknotes, opened on 26 September 2013. The bridges were designed by Robin Stam. They are made from a concrete base with coloured concrete panels placed on the sides.
