Soldiers build a Bailey bridge at the entrance of the Johannes Post barracks in Havelte. Soldiers learn in this way how quickly they can build a bridge.
The construction project is an exercise, but the barracks in Havelte hopes that the building may remain permanently in the municipality. Therefore, the barracks should be more eye-catching to passers-by. The Bailey bridge is not finished yet, but the building is already a huge eye-catcher at the entrance of the Johannes Post barracks. There is now a generation license to the municipality of Westerveld.
A Bailey bridge is a bridge that consists of separate elements and can be built up without too many tools quickly. The design is, despite its simplicity it extremely strong. A bailey bridge can easily drive a truck. The first bailey bridge was designed in 1943 by Briton Donald Bailey.
