ABOUT US NEWS PROJECTS DURABILITY WORK AT CONTACT NL AND Projects Nature bridge Zeepoort Nature bridge Zeepoort Zuid-Kennemerland National Park is a unique nature reserve that has become fragmented. The construction of the Zeepoort Nature Bridge over the Zeeweg now provides a good connection between the sub-areas in the National Park and promotes the exchange between animal and plant species. This keeps the flora and fauna in the area healthy. In order to do justice to the unique location of the Zeeweg and Bloemendaal's wish for a special solution for the natural bridge, a high level of ambition has been set for the image quality of the bridge. The landscape integration of the bridge was the most important assessment criterion during the selection. Our submitted design was judged best and that earned us the contract for the construction. . In addition to the design, which ensures an optimal experience of the dune landscape, road safety and the social safety of cyclists and walkers have also been taken into account. Road safety Plants and animals, such as the deer, weasel, slowworm, sand lizard, natterjack toad, dune rose and all kinds of butterfly species will have a larger continuous habitat with the arrival of the bridge. Once they find it, large animals such as roe deer will use the nature bridge to cross. This reduces the risk of collisions and improves road safety. Monk work Both the design and the way of construction have unique characteristics. If you drive under 'the seagull', you will see, for example, a beautiful ribbed pattern in the concrete. This makes you think of "a beach plain on which wind and water have acted." A painstaking job according to the project leader, but with great results. In order to hinder traffic as little as possible during the pouring of 24,000 m3 of concrete, an ambitious 24-hour approach has been chosen. This allowed the Zeeweg to reopen well before the first beachgoers wanted to enjoy the beautiful weather. Due to good planning and favorable conditions, the project was even completed three months earlier than planned.
