Bridge 48 unnamed (Brug achtenveertig)
In the early eighties the municipality decided that #brug48 should be restored to its former glory and it was given three vaulted passages. So just like #bridge44 #bridge45 #bridge46 and #bridge47 this is a relatively new bridge rebuilt in the early 1980’s to reflect the new aesthetic for the area. The bridge was unofficially known for years as the Felix Meritis Bridge but like many before did not meet naming guidelines and is now known only by its number.
The bridge connects Wolvenstraat with Berenstraat and crosses the Keizersgracht in the shopping area of the #NegenStraatjes in the historic Amsterdam canal belt. We saw three other bridges #bridge24 #bridge25 and #bridge26 that also bordered the #NineStreets all crossing the Herengracht and of course the previous #bridge47
