The Slauerhoffbrug in Leeuwarden is a movable bridge . The peculiarity of this bridge is the type of movement, because the bridge with a bridge deck of 15 × 15 × 0.5 meters turns away at 45 ° when opened. Since the main and cross members are missing and the construction is thin, the bridge can be moved upwards and an optimal headroom can be achieved. The counterweight of the construction is built next to the road, so that when it is lowered, another special feature opens up, because then the bridge "merges" with the road again.
