It was built in 2001 and won the International Footbridge Award in 2002.

The bright red bridge spans 90 meters and was designed by Adriaan Geuze of the architectural firm West 8.

[citation needed] The visually similar Lage Brug (Low bridge) is nearby.

This bridge was also made famous by the Storror parkour team.

The team used the bridge to do a hanging challenge and used a rope to swing off of.
