Ever wonder what it felt like to follow Moses? Well, though it's not
the Red Sea, the Moses Bridge, located in the Netherlands, is quite the
sight to see. Appropriately titled, the bridge gives visitors a truly
unique experience when visiting a close 17th century fort. Designed by
architecture group RO & AD, the bridge is constructed out of Accoya
wood, a high technology wood that is supposedly harder and more durable
than some of the best tropical woods. It is treated with a nontoxic
anti-fungal coating.
From a distance, the Moses Bridge appears to vanish, allowing the
viewer to see the flow of the moat uninterrupted. As one approaches
though, the sunken bridge becomes apparent. It splits the waters
allowing for a unique walk to the historic sight across the way. This
bridge would be very cool to experience firsthand, though I think I
would be just a little bit nervous when crossing the moat.
