Queen Wilhelmina Bridge - Waaigat inlet,, Willemstad, °ä³Ü°ù²¹Ã§²¹´Ç - stock photo
Willemstad, °ä³Ü°ù²¹Ã§²¹´Ç, Kingdom of the Netherlands: the Queen Wilhelmina Bridge, a fixed vehicular and pedestrian span in Willemstad's UNESCO-listed historic center, connects the commercial Punda district with the residential Scharloo neighborhood across the Waaigat inlet, facilitating daily traffic since its completion in 1928. Originally constructed as a drawbridge and named for Queen Wilhelmina of the Netherlands (reigned 1890–1948), it was permanently secured following the destruction of the adjacent dock during World War II, ensuring uninterrupted access amid the city's colonial-era layout. The steel truss structure, painted in the characteristic pastel hues of Willemstad, stands as a utilitarian counterpart to the nearby swinging Queen Emma Pontoon Bridge over St. Anna Bay, underscoring °ä³Ü°ù²¹Ã§²¹´Ç's layered maritime heritage.
