Queen Emma Bridge
The Queen Emma Bridge is a pontoon bridge across St. Anna Bay in Curaçao. It connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the capital city, Willemstad. The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to enable the passage of ocean going vessels. On the opposite end from the hinge is a small shelter where an operator controls two diesel engines turning propellers. The propellers are mounted perpendicular to the length of the bridge and allow it to swing parallel to the shore. The process only takes a few minutes to complete.The bridge was built in 1888 and was completely renovated in 1939. Originally it was a toll bridge. Individuals without shoes were permitted to cross the bridge without paying the toll; however, today, a toll is no longer applied. When the bridge swings open, two ferries spring into action to bring pedestrians across the water. The ferries are also free of charge.
Queen Juliana Bridge
Queen Juliana Bridge is a four lane road bridge across St. Anna Bay in Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao and formerly, the Netherlands Antilles. The bridge is named after Queen Juliana of the Netherlands. The original bridge collapsed in 1967 and its replacement, the current bridge, opened on Queen’s Day, (April 30) 1974.
Reaching a height of 56.4 m (185 feet) above the water at its apex (to accommodate ships entering the narrow harbour), the bridge is the highest in the Caribbean. It weighs 3,400 tons.
The view from the apex includes the entire panorama of Punda, Otrobanda, the Schottegat and oil refinery on the other side, it is one of the highest vantage point on the island. Due to strong winds it´s unfortunately not allowed to enter the bridge by foot.
