Python Bridge, officially known as High Bridge (Hoge Brug), is a bridge that spans the canal between Sporenburg and Borneo Island in Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam.
History
[edit | edit source]It was built in 2001 and won the International Footbridge Award in 2002. The bright red bridge spans 90 meters and was designed by Adriaan Geuze of the architectural firm West 8.[1][2]
Uniqueness
[edit | edit source]The bridge only carries pedestrians.[citation needed]
The visually similar Lage Brug (Low bridge) is nearby. It is similar but without the high elevation, which allows cyclists to ride over it.
This bridge was also made famous by the Storror parkour team. The team used the bridge to do a hanging challenge and used a rope to swing off of.[citation needed]
