Opening the Pontoon Bridge (Koningin Emmabrug)

The pontoon bridge(Koningin Emmabrug or Queen Anna Bridge) over the St. Anna Bay in Willemstad, Curacao is opening to let a ship pass. Once used for vehicles but now for pedestrians since the Koningin Julianabrug was built. Historic downtown Willemstad is a designated UNESCO World Heritage Site. The original bridge was built in 1888. It was restored in 2005. Once used for vehicles until the Queen Juliana Bridge was completed in 1974. #QueenEmmaBridge #PontoonBridge #Willemstad #Curacao #SantaAnnaBay #pont #Brücke #floating #FloatingBridge
