John F. Kennedy Bridge (Maastricht)

The John F. Kennedy Bridge is a road bridge over the Meuse River in the Dutch city of Maastricht. The bridge is named after John F. Kennedy, President of the United States, who was assassinated in 1963.History
Since the 1950s, Maastricht had been seeking to complete the planned ring road around the city center by building two bridges, a "Southern Bridge" and a "Northern Bridge."[1] Construction of the bridge and the connecting Maas Boulevard required the demolition of a large part of the City Park. The character of the stately Prins Bisschopsingel in Villa Park also changed significantly due to the new design and the intensive traffic flow.[2] Construction by Rijkswaterstaat cost approximately 30 million guilders, of which the national government paid 9.3 million.[3]The bridge was opened by Prince Claus in the pouring rain on May 6, 1968.
