The Twist is a bicycle bridge over the Vlaardingervaart in the Dutch town of Vlaardingen, where it is commonly called De Wokkel. The corkscrew-like deformed box bridge is also intended for pedestrians and was completed in 2009. It connects the post-war residential area Holy-Zuid with the western green area and with Maassluis, Maasland and the Westwijk. The bridge is a landmark in Vlaardingen.

When I cycled over here I had the feeling for a moment that I had been drinking. Well done!
