This beautiful bridge that crosses the Waal river, opened to traffic in November 2013. The design was chosen so that it was similar to the existing bridge of 1936, which had become too small to handle all the traffic, and lies East of the current bridge. Near the bridge is a commemoration site for the US Army 504th Infantry Regiment of the 82d Airborne Brigade. During the crossing in 1944, 48 men lost their lives. This is commemorated by 48 pairs of lamp posts on the bridge. Every evening these lights go on pair by pair symbolising the slow crossing of the river during the liberation.(source Wikipedia)
