Although the name suggests otherwise, architect Adriaan Geuze did not necessarily design the Python Bridge as a snake. But the curved shapes, with aluminum fixtures in the form of stretched gull heads, enhance the dynamics of the 93-meter long bridge and it therefore resembles a python. The bridge was first also called Anaconda, Salamander or Dinosaurus Bridge. The architectural firm of Adriaan Geuze, West 8, also designed houses in the area. The steel bridge with wooden planks supported on concrete is only suitable for pedestrians (cyclists only allowed with their bicycle in hand).
