Excerpt from Wikipedia:
Sint Servaasbrug (or the St. Servatius Bridge) is an arched stone footbridge across the Meuse River in Maastricht, Netherlands. It is named after Saint Servatius, the first bishop of Maastricht, and (despite being largely rebuilt after World War II) it has been called the oldest bridge in the Netherlands.
The Sint Servaasbrug connects pedestrian traffic from the Binnenstad district of Maastricht on the west bank of the Meuse (the most central part of the city) to the Wyck district on the east bank.
The bridge is made of limestone, and in its current configuration it is 160 metres (525 ft) long and 9 metres (30 ft) wide. Its seven arches each span approximately 12 metres (39 ft), and are supported by seven piers. A separate steel drawbridge with a span of 54.5 metres (178 ft 10 in) connects the east end of the bridge to the east bank of the river.
Die mittelalterliche Sint Servaasbrug dient nach wie vor als fuß- und radläufige Verbindung zwischen den beiden Maasufern in Maaastricht. An die Bogenbrücke schließt sich heute eine Hubbrücke an, so dass die Maas an dieser Stelle schiffbar bleibt. Im Hintergrund ein Industriegebiet im Norden der Stadt. Davor die Wilhelminabrug.

Excerpt from en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meuse:
The Meuse or Maas is a major European river, rising in France and flowing through Belgium and the Netherlands before draining into the North Sea from the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta. It has a total length of 925 km (575 miles).
Het is onbekend of Nijmegen of Maastricht de oudste stad van Nederland is. Feit is echter dat deze brug – de Sint Servaasbrug – de oudste brug is van het land en stamt uit de 13de eeuw.
Even voor ik deze foto nam, waren er jetski's druk bezig om elke kans op reflecties in de Maas onmogelijk te maken. Gelukkig waren ze verderop het water gaan verstoren toen de kleuren van de zonsondergang goed in de lucht kwamen.
It's unknown whether Nijmegen or Maastricht is the oldest city in the Netherlands. But it's a fact that this bridge – the Saint Servaas Bridge – is the oldest bridge of the country, being built in the 13th century.
Shortly before I took this shot, there were jet skis busy at work to prevent any chance of reflections in the Meuse river. Luckily, they had moved up river just before the sunset started colouring the sky.

Dahinter der Bogen der Hoge Brug aus dem Jahre 2003, die auch den zahlreichen Studenten aus vielen europäischen Ländern als Verbindung zwischen Altstadt und Neustadt von Maastricht dient.

Wer gelegentlich an Europa zweifelt, sollte mal einen Ausflug nach Maastricht machen. Ich bin überzeugt, dass er/sie hier die Bedeutung Europas für uns alle spüren wird.

Rijksmonument 28026
De brug werd tussen 1280 en 1298 gebouwd in opdracht van het kapittel van Sint-Servaas, ter vervanging van de in 1275 ingestorte vorige brug. Mogelijk betrof dit de uit de 1e eeuw na Chr. bekende – en diverse malen herstelde – pons mosae, de Romeinse brug van Maastricht, die circa 130 m zuidelijker lag. Waarschijnlijker is echter dat de ingestorte brug een (vroeg)middeleeuwse opvolger van de Romeinse brug was, die mogelijk op dezelfde locatie als de huidige brug lag.
Begin 20e eeuw begon het steeds duidelijker te worden dat de brug niet meer kon voldoen aan de eisen die het toenemende verkeer aan de brug stelde. In de jaren twintig was het gemeentebestuur van plan om de brug geheel af te breken en te vervangen door een nieuwe. Aanleiding hiervoor waren diverse instortingen van gedeelten van de brug in 1926, 1928 en 1931. Het Rijk blokkeerde deze plannen echter. Uiteindelijk werd na veel protest van de Maastrichtse bevolking besloten om de oude brug te behouden en ongeveer 300 meter noordelijker, ter hoogte van de Markt, een tweede brug te bouwen; de latere Wilhelminabrug. Na de oplevering van de Wilhelminabrug vond tussen 1932 en 1934 een zeer ingrijpende restauratie van de Sint Servaasbrug plaats. De brug werd toen in feite compleet afgebroken en opnieuw opgebouwd, 2,5 m breder dan de oude brug. De bogen werden geconstrueerd in beton en daarna weer bekleed, deels met de oorspronkelijke, deels met nieuwe stenen.
De brug heeft in de Tweede Wereldoorlog ernstig te lijden gehad. Op 10 mei 1940 werd het stalen gedeelte aan de kant van Wyck op bevel van de Nederlandse legerleiding opgeblazen.
Bij het terugtrekken van het Duitse leger in 1944 liep de brug veel meer schade op.
Op 13 september 1944, de dag van de bevrijding van Wyck en slechts één dag voor de bevrijding van Maastricht zelf, blies een Sprengkommando van de Duitsers de brug gedeeltelijk op. Dankzij de betonnen constructie uit de jaren dertig werd echter geen van de bogen geheel onderbroken en kon ze gemakkelijk provisorisch hersteld worden.
The St. Servatius Bridge is an arched stone footbridge across the Meuse River in Maastricht. It is named after Saint Servatius, the first bishop of Maastricht, and (despite being largely rebuilt after World War II) it has been called the oldest bridge in the Netherlands.
The Romans built a wooden bridge across the Meuse in what is now Maastricht, in approximately AD 50, and the Latin phrase for "crossing of the Meuse", "mosae trajectum", became the name of the city. For many years this remained the only crossing of the lower Meuse. However, the Roman bridge collapsed in the year 1275 from the weight of a large procession, killing 400 people. Its replacement, the present bridge, was built somewhat to the north of the older crossing between 1280 and 1298.
In the early 1930s two arches on the eastern end of the bridge were removed and replaced by a vertical-lift bridge. During World War II the bridge was severely damaged by the German army as they retreated from the Netherlands in 1944, but it was rebuilt in 1948.
