Some of the world’s greatest engineering marvels are a delight to witness. Be it the Chenab rail bridge in Jammu and Kashmir or Dubai’s Museum of the Future, there is no doubt that such amazing structures will leave us spellbound. One such marvelous structure is the Veluwemeer Aqueduct or the Reverse Bridge in the Netherlands.
The bridge is built in such a way that vehicles crossing it appears to vanish under a section of water toward the middle of the bridge before reappearing on the other side. It gives the appearance that the cars disappear underwater before emerging from the opposite side. The road really briefly descends below the water's surface under the bridge's clever construction, which keeps it dry and still permits boats to pass through the strip of water above it.
The highway is referred to as the "coolest road in the world." It is close to Harderwijk, a Dutch city. The largest man-made island in the world, Flevoland, is connected to the mainland by this bridge. The Veluwemeer Aqueduct, which was completed in 2002, enables both waterborne and vehicular traffic to pass through the stretch without impeding the other.
This unique bridge became famous as it was posted recently on Twitter by businessman and writer Vala Afshar. The post garnered a massive 4.3 million views.
