Wooden framework on brick pillars This unique bridge was designed by wUrck, a design agency for architecture, urban planning, and landscape. The main span consists of a wooden framework resting on two brick pillars on both sides of the Wilhelmina Canal. From the bridge, you have a view of the St. Peter's Basilica in Oirschot. The rust-colored coated bridge railing is distinctive and beautifully illuminated in the evening.
