Tips

On 11 May 1940, the Heusdense bridge (just like the bridge over the Heusdens canal) was blown up. The recovery lasted until the end of March 1941, but in 1944 it was hit again. It took until 1946 for the bridge to be repaired.
In 1971, the government transferred the bridge to the Province and in 1987, Provinciale Waterstaat started the construction of a new concrete cable-stayed bridge, which was put into use in 1989.
The old bridge, originally sold to Suriname for one guilder, was eventually demolished in March 1996.
There are two monuments near the bridge. In 1991, the Monument in memory of 87 years of steel bridges in Heusden was unveiled (left). And on 20 August 2004, the Maas monument was given its place (below) as part of the celebration of 100 years of Bergse Maas. This memorial consists of two original, restored lamp posts that once graced the first bridge.
