INVISIBLE BRIDGE

Forget walking over water. How about walking through it? A little ingeniuty provides a fresh take on bridges. The Invisible Bridge by RO & AD of the Netherlands and Belgium is a sunken walkway that sits at water level providing access to Forte de Roovere, a 17th Century Dutch fortress. Not only is the bridge an optical illusion, it also benefits its natural surroundings by staying out of the way. The visual impact is nearly zero until you approach it. But when you do see it, it’s absolutely beautiful. The bridge is constructed with processed timber to prevent decay and the way it cuts through the landscape is awe-inspiring. We have a few images posted below for your enjoyment.
