Ketelbrug

The Ketelbridge with the bascule part opened

The Ketelbrug is a bridge spanning the Ketelmeer (Ketel lake) between the Noordoostpolder and the eastern Flevopolder in the Dutch province of Flevoland. The A6 motorway runs over it. A part of it is a bascule bridge.

The 800-meter-long (2,600 ft) bridge was opened on 15 June 1970.

The Ketelbrug has had accidents. One of those was on 4 October 2009, when it opened unexpectedly without the warning lights flashing. Ketelbrug had its warning lights replaced afterwards.[1][2]

From Ketelbrug you will be able to see Zwolse-Hoek (Urk), and Kamperhoek.
