Nieuwebrug - 1651-1990 - Nieuwebrug - The Netherlands - Bridge Date Stones and Plaques on Waymarking.com

A new bridge! In 1510 a wooden bridge, after about half a century a stone bridge connected both banks of the Rhine. In 1651, dilapidated, it was replaced by a wooden seesaw bridge by the inhabitants of Nieuwerbrug with the permission of the province of Holland. The management and maintenance were left to the Nieuwerbruggers, who were allowed to levy tolls for the costs. Three, later six “bridge masters” from the village have since then controlled the toll bridge decisively and soundly on the basis of old regulations and are arranging more and more other matters in the village. The current bridge is a steel example from 1990.
