The bridge for pedestrians and cyclists over Open Havenfront is a direct link between Prins Hendrikkade and the island on which Central Station stands (Stationseiland). The bridge also draws together the old town and the development on the banks of the IJ. To emphasize the railway station's insular status, the bridge is a transparent, airy, graceful element tying the banks together without compromising the openness of the water between them. The lighting accentuates the structure of the bridge and matches the street lighting in the area.
