    The bridges are very impressive to look at

    Translated by Google •

      Impressive structure that you have to drive through at least once.
      Here are a few key facts:
      The entire barrier is nine kilometers long.
      There are a total of 65 pillars that weigh up to 18,000 tons and are up to 65 meters high. Between them, 62 movable gates are suspended, which are 42 meters wide. The height of the gates is between 5.9 and 11.9 meters, the heaviest weigh up to 500 tons. The gates can be closed within an hour. The storm surge barrier has to be closed about once a year due to weather conditions.
