The bridge's main span is 153 meter, and it is 29 meter wide. The total bridge length is 532 meter.
On the brige you're not in view, as persons on the nearby active highway bridge can't see you.

This bridge was built in 1936. During the second world war, it was demolished. After the war, a temporary ship bridge was constructed, but this bridge got repaired and was reopenend in 1948.
This bridge ranked high in the traffic jam top-10, so it was decided to replace it by two new bridges, called "Jan Blankenbergbrug". The first one was ready in 1999, the second in 2006. They are allready planning a third span.
The foundation "Arch Bridge Vianen" tried to prevent the demolishment, first with the argument it was a monument, later that it was part of the state road plan of 1927 - just as the waalbrug near Zaltbommel - but in 2007 the highest court decided that the demolishing could go on.
At the same time, the regional transport authority thought it would be useful to convert it to a tram bridge, to connect Nieuwegein (north) with Vianen (south), but the upkeep costs of the bridge would be too high.
The wrecking will probably start in 2010 and finish in 2011.
