Lift Bridge 'Parallelbrug' Helmond | The Netherlands (2014)

The Parallelbrug on the 'Engelse Weg' in Helmond is a lift bridge which has not been used since the disappearance of regular shipping traffic on this part of the canal in 2006. Parallel to the railway bridge, this place forms an important crossroads where motorists regularly wait for passing trains. In line with the railway crossing, we have developed a dynamic lighting system that "strikes tilt" when the railway crossing is closed.
