The Enneüs-Heerma Bridge ( Dutch Enneüs Heermabrug , English Enneüs Heerma Bridge ) is a road bridge in the Amsterdam-Oost district of the Dutch capital Amsterdam .
location

Surname
According to the Amsterdam numbering, the bridge bears the number 2001. It is named after the politician Enneüs Heerma , a CDA politician who died in 1999 of lung cancer.
In addition, the bridge has been given several nicknames over the years: Beha ( German "BH" ), Cup IJ (German "Körbchen IJ") and Pam An .
description
The 250 m long Enneüs-Heerma bridge has two separate, approximately 15 m wide girders. The IJburglaan is laid out on the northern carriageway and has only two lanes for cars, but is accompanied by a two-lane road for bicycles and mopeds and a sidewalk. The two tracks of tram line 26 IJtram run on the south-facing girder , which is about 4 m apart . There is a sidewalk next to her, but it ends in the grassland at both ends of the bridge.
The supporting structure of the bridge consists of a vertical middle and two slightly lower outer series of white steel arches inclined towards it. When viewed from the side, they form a wave movement made up of two large arches connected by a small trough. Structurally, there are two 75 m long tied arch bridges , which are connected by a 30 m long fish belly girder bridge. Steel girders arranged on both sides of the two carriageway girders form the straps that absorb the tensile forces of the two large arches and the pressure forces of the fish-belly girders. The roadway girders are independent of this, they hang on the hangers of the arches and are mounted on the fish-belly girders. Outside the large arches, short, elevated girder bridges connect with the land.
history
The bridge was designed according to the plans of the British architect Nicholas Grimshaw . Its construction was commissioned in 2000, so that its opening could take place the following year. It was awarded the National Staalprijs in 2002 in the Infrastructuur en overige staalconstructies category.
