The first Spijkenisserbrug was constructed between 1900 and 1903, removing Voorne-Putten from its isolation. The bridge was part of the new tram line that was built in the following years. Initially it was a swing bridge, but this caused problems for the ever-growing ships. To widen the narrow passage, the swing bridge was changed into a lift bridge in 1933. Ultimately, this also provided insufficient space for the passing ships, so that a completely new bridge was built in 1979.

You can take this one if the Botlekbrug is closed. Happens quite often. When it is opened, enjoy the view. Can take a while.
