Brug tweeënzestig – Bridge 62 | Information and history

Posted on April 6, 2023July 24, 2023

Not a huge amount to add that hasn’t already been covered for #bridge62 Until April 2016 it was known as the Grote Brouwerssluis. When the municipality of Amsterdam decided that names that could not be traced should be deleted the bridge became known by number alone. Unlike many of the other unnamed bridges so far, the fact that Amsterdam also has a Brouwersgracht and a Brouwerssluis located a kilometer to the north, may have played a part in the removal of this name.
