- The Dutch are incredible engineers, I cannot believe these bridges exist in real life! Our world tour of bridges takes us to the Netherlands this time and if you don't want spoilers, please don't read this until the end of the video!
First up we have the absolutely crazy Slauerhoff Bridge, which cannot really be done in 2D but I gave it my best shot. Then we recreate Amsterdam's Python Bridge which has to be one of the most crazy looking bridges I've ever seen. Before recreating the Eiland Bridge in Poly Bridge 2, the king of variety this one, with a cable stayed section, a normal span and a draw bridge! Really enjoyed my trip to the Netherlands, although it did bring back memories of Sam the dog... Poor lil guy...

As someone from the Netherlands I'm kind of surprised that we have all these cool bridges. Really only classic counterweight draw bridges come to mind when I think about "dutch bridges". So thanks for showcasing these, they're lovely.
Also the third is my favourite even if it isn't as stylish, the combination is fun and it's kind of a reordered version of the Erasmus bridge.
thats what I was thinking
Yeah I did like the third!
@@chielwouterscw Awesome!!!! Netherlands second my ass... ;-)
I lived in Den Haag for a couple of years and have been visiting it for nigh on 20 and compared to other countries the Dutch do let their engineers express themselves. Planners approve interesting structures (check out the old MinBuza building for example) rather than cheapest ideas. And they aren’t afraid to knock stuff down and do it over.
Well as a foreigner, I am not too surprised since your country was supposed to be submerged in water by now.
I'm a Dutch construction student I work on bridges in the Netherlands. last week I worked on the moving part of the haringvliet bridge its awesome because every bridge is actually done by an artist and every bridge has its own style
aite. you better fix the Caland bridge then. that bitch is still broken
Imma rate these pronounciations:
Slauerhoff bridge: 10/10 great pronounciation
Python bridge: 4/10 its pronounced differently(something like pee-ton) in Dutch.
Eiland bridge: 8/10 the first one was really close, the ‘Ei’ was a bit off
The Ei was a bit off unless you pronounce it in an Amsterdam accent, then it was spot on :P
So is it 'slauwer' or 'sloor'?
@@ericross4125 slauwer
@@ericross4125 its like "our" but then with sl- in front of it
Eiland is pronounced like ay-land (e.lɑnd)
Bridges mentioned/shown, with some extra info for those that are interested:
Slauerhoffbrug (English: Slauerhoff Bridge) is a fully automatic bascule bridge (aka tail bridge) in the city of Leeuwarden in the Netherlands. It is a road bridge that carries the Slauerhoffweg (named after J. Slauerhoff) over the Harlingervaart. It was completed in 2000.
Python bridge, a pedestrian bridge connecting Sporenburg and Borneo Island in Eastern Docklands, Amsterdam, built 2001 by West 8.
Eilandbrug (Overijssel) is an asymmetric cable-stayed bridge in the A50 motorway (Rijksweg N50) connecting Kampen and Ramspol. Sailboats with height lower than 14 meters tall can sail under the bridge without it having to open. The bridge is mainly used by the "Bruine vloot", a professional charter sailing fleet with traditional dutch sailing ships. Official use started from 21 january of 2003, and recieved the "Betonprijs" award in the same year.
Info is mostly from wikipedia and freely translated.

Pro tip: you know how you’re always complaining that wood and steel aren’t 3D and sometimes there’s a part at the top of the bridge that goes directly above the bridge, and the wood and steel doesn’t do that, just use roads, which then go above the bridge and looks more 3D and realistic
Edit: for example on the first bridge where there’s the big ball on the left, if you made the wood roads then it would look 3d

Lol that first bridge is in my hometown, if you are interested i can make you some photos and send them to you. In dutch we called it the “dropjes brug”. Because it lookes like a diamond shaped salmiak sweet. Lovely adaptation in the game!
I remember having a bridge-building contest already in the first year of highschool. it was in "techniek", so tech-class I guess, and the teachers would get on them to test their strength. It might be interesting to note that the bridges would be built out of paper, those tiny bamboo sticks, glue and rope, that's all. It's truly in our Dutch blood I guess

The Eiland bridge has such a nice view. Which is good, because it also has crazy queues when it’s open xD which happens _very_ often in summer and it makes it ever so slightly more bearable
Thanks to this channel, I have a new appreciation for bridges! The other day I was travelling through a little town called Oumigawa in Japan, and couldn't stop taking photos of the dang bridge!
RCE: Come for the bridges, stay for the childhood trauma :3
Can't say I ever expected a bridge from my hometown to make it into this. First bridge (Slauerhoffbrug) is very close to where I live and somewhat on the way to my grandparents so I've gone across it multiple times. I guess if you've used the same bridge for 20 years you start taking the impressive engineering for granted.

I live pretty close to the Slauerhoff bridge, was a nice surprise to see it on here. It's a semi-automated bridge but it is usually controlled by the bridge guard on the next bridge over, the Hermes bridge. There is some footage of it opening and closing on youtube and i could take some photos of the raised bridge if you want, though this late in the year it doesn't open very often so it could take me a while. Your first pronunciation was pretty spot on
Gotta say, I don't really know anything about bridges but your videos calm me down. Idk, there's something soothing in them, your voice and the game's soundtrack
...wait in Germany we tend to always say "Holland", I never considered that that’s actually only a part of the Netherlands... o.O
Yeah same, it's just easier to say instead of "Niederlande", but I knew it's just a part of it

We always say England although it's United kingdom or Great Britain. I heard that's becuz UK and Netherlands traded back and forth between The province North-Holland and England back in the day
Nope. "Holland" actually is an entire area, spanning from the North Sea to somewhere around Oberhausen, Germany. In early writings the area was named as "Dutsch Land". Where "Dutsch" stands for "hollow/hole/dip" Our little Kingdom was formed by joining 11 provinces together. All below sealevel. Hence "the Netherlands". Plural. Because even back than, we'd love to point out our "supremacy" over the Germans. And "Dutsch" became "Dutch" , and the Germans got their names. It also explains why we, the Dutch, refer to Germans as "Duitsers" and Germany as "Duitsland".
My 2ct
Till 1840 North- and South-Holland formed one province.
In good Dutch tradition, this was too much power in one place (The Hague, Rotterdam, Amsterdam, Gouda, Haarlem) so it got split in two.
England and Holland have more history together than all the other provinces combined. So, with my special permission, Englanders may call The Netherlands, Holland. 😁

@@TTDEATHTT cant let a classic go to waste now can we?
First pronounciation: nailed it
Second: It is Python bridge, but we say the ‘y’ in python as ‘peeton’ (lmao)
Third: The ‘ei’ pronounciation in dutch is: ‘eye’, so it is basically the same as ‘island’ but we say the ‘a’ in it as how Brittish say ‘master’
Love the bridges, think you nailed them! 😁
Maat de eerste is ook meer duits dan Nederlands 😂😅
Also, the English 'th' sound is quite rare. I am not aware of any language other than English that has it. Dutch certainly hasn't.
@@Huntracony true
@@Huntracony Ancient Greek (and maybe modern idk) had it, which is also the origin of most Dutch words that use the 'th' spelling.
The Dutch ei/ij sound doesn't occur in the English language. Though eye is the usual sound that native English speakers use to imitate it.
Cool to see you build some bridges from my home country, didn't expect a video on Dutch bridges to come anytime soon lol. Your pronunciation is actually quite decent btw.
New ideas for materials...
- Aerogel: This material is extremely lightweight, but also very brittle. Aerogel has an incredibly high buoyancy, meaning that it can float on water and thus support the weight of other materials.
- Magnets: Exactly what they say on the tin.
- Buoys and Weights: Instead of having to construct your own counterweights and buoys using Reinforced Road and Aerogel respectively, standalone Weights and Buoys would also be available.
Woo! bridges from my homeland! nice video mate!
And yes, it is called the island bridge. just like you pronounce it.

It takes just the Dutch make a bicycle and pedestrian bridge because they decided to build a recreational, habitual and nature area on the other side of a major highway and a canal. Meet the Blue Walker aka the Pieter Smit bridge with a total length of 800 meters. This includes a draw bridge over the canal. In fact part of it goes over the lake which is in the aforementioned area. Pieter Smit was the first mayor of the county of Oldambt where this bridge is about to be opened. The bridge is named after him after he tragically died of heart failure, while this bridge was in development. The namechange was by almost unanimous request of the people of Oldambt.

Question: Can I major in Architecture AND Civil Enginnering and still be a respectable member of society?
It's kind of like wearing a suit and tie, but being completely naked from the waist down...
@@RealCivilEngineerGaming I don't know what it's like in the UK, but here in Belgium, you can either follow "Civil Engineer" and after 3 years of Bachelor, specialize in a variety of specializations, or you can study "Civil Engineering: Architect" which differs from the "Construction" specialization of "normal" Civil Engineer in that they also follow creativity and artist courses from the first year (such as building models out of cardboard and all).
But I can confirm that for everything else, they follow the same classes as regular Civil Engineer students (and Math Bachelors for Calculus and Linear Algebra).
They just don't get classes that aren't directly applicable to construction and architecture, such as Electromagnetics, etc.

Maybe instead of doing a world tour you could do a featured bridge at the last of the regular poly bridge videos. That last part of the video could be a cool bridge from real life that you recreate in the game.
I’m considering adding “bung” and “whang” to my vocabulary now
I live 1.25km, so less than a mile, away from that Python bridge. I've taken the tram that goes through the tunnel that's underneath it almost daily for a couple of years, yet I had never seen it or even heard of it! Thanks for showing it, I'll be sure to look it up next weekend or so.

I reconised your last bridge before you finished it. And well, i have lived with that bridge for 24 years so good job

Your first attempt to pronounce Slauerhoffbrug was excellent.
I live right next to the Pythonbrug. It's part of a pair: the Pythonbrug is actually called the Hoge Brug (high bridge), and the other is the Lage Brug, though my family calls it the Rode (red) Brug. They look cool, but it's still amazing to see one of them singled out as one of the three coolest bridges in the country.
Nice other engineering detail: there's a tunnel going lengthwise underneath the water that runs under this bridge, in order to create a shortcut to the A10 ring around Amsterdam. The whole area is part of the old eastern docklands, now all residential. Another nice detail for engineers: one of the peninsulas connected by the Python bridge is called Sporenburg, because it was entirely filled with railroad tracks (sporen) back in the 1930s.
Cool thanks for sharing!
congrats on 100k!
Gratz on 100k

Beautiful bridges and engineering marvels
I used to live close to the second bridge (python bridge), locally to us it was actually most well known as “the big red bridge” (grote rode brug). You can actually climb the sides of the bridge so kids would climb all the way to the top and jump down in summer!
