A truly iconic bridge, but hundreds of people wait here daily for ships that are sometimes even empty. A few times a year the bridge is defective and you have to detour via Boskoop.

The Waddinxveen drawbridge is a distinctive steel drawbridge over the Gouwe River in Waddinxveen, South Holland. Built in 1935, it is a significant national monument. It is still used for both road and shipping traffic and is a recognizable symbol of the village.
