The Slauerhoffbrug in Leeuwarden city is one of miracles of the construction-world. This is a tail bridge, which can quickly and efficiently be raised and lowered from one pylon (instead of hinges). This quickly allows water traffic to pass while only briefly stalling road traffic.
So, when you are in Leeuwarden in Netherlands. Be sure to see this bridge in action if you can.
