    The Slauerhoffbrug is a fully automatic bascule bridge (tail bridge) in the city of

    Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. It uses two arms to swing a section of road in and out
    of place within the road itself. It is also known as the Slauerhoffbrug Flying
    Drawbridge.
    A tail bridge can quickly and efficiently be raised and lowered from one pylon
    (instead of hinges). This quickly allows water traffic to pass while only briefly
    stalling road traffic.
    The deck is 15 m by 15 m. It is painted in yellow and blue, representative of
    Leeuwarden's flag and seal.

    History
    Slauerhoffbrug is a bridge that stood out in the Netherlands and is often called also with bridge-happy
    Netherlands. Slauerhoffbrug is located in Leeuwarden, Netherlands. Designed by Van Driel
    Mechatronica becomes fully automatic bridge with the ability to sense and adapt to its environment.
    Slauerhoffbrug crosses over the River Harlinger Vaart. A bridge to move it is necessary because a
    new Beltway crosses the Canal, said van Driel. Built in the year 2000 of iron and steel, the bridge is
    raised and lowered 10 times a day by two hydraulic cylinders located on a single pole on the side of the
    bridge. Complete with signs and road asphalt, smooth disappeared into the road when lowered. The
    basic Model of the bridge is a bascule bridge that limited turntable, where sections are offset by the
    increased weight, like Pegasusbrug near Ouistreham in France. The bridge was built across the world
    in the 18th century to the 19th and 20th centuries, said van Driel.
    construction
    Slauerhoffbrug is built in the shape of the letters L and bend like the pads that
    lead to the deck, with the foundation that was built next to the bridge. The main
    girder beams and cross is not present. This allows the low construction height
    increases the height of the lift. And in the Netherlands mode right, this bridge is
    not only technical achievements of the tail, but a work of art. The bridge is
    painted in yellow and blue, the representatives of the Leewaurden flag and seal.
    Asymmetric shape can be seen for miles when the deck is completely lifted and
    locked up in the air. The bridge Slauerhoffbrug Bridge of the original tail made
    up about the idea of having a central point remains with the scrolling units on
    both sides. Van Driel Mechatronica BV created William Pont Bridge in Zaanstad
    using steps that are more simple. The pole below the center point replaces the
    element scroll left and right of the bridge. This small bridge can rest on one
    pillar, which is beneficial because less material and energy consumption. The
    Leeuwarden City Council decided to base the Slauerhoffbrug of these principles.
