The single-pylon bridge connects an austere post-war neighbourhood of Utrecht with a new high standard business area. The torsion, constructive pylon of the bridge transforms geometrically from a cone form at the top descending into a box shape as it connects with the main deck. The deck is split into four separate lanes which enables difference in steepness for slow and motorised traffic.
