The Dafne Schippers Bridge is a 110-meter bicycle and pedestrian bridge that crosses the Amsterdam-Rijn Canal and connects the center of the city of Utrecht with one of its new neighborhoods, Leidsche Rijn. The bridge is named after Dafne Schippers, a world-class Dutch athlete who has roots in Utrecht.
The bridge itself is suspended 9 meters above the canal, with the highest point of the suspension arms 35 meters above the water. The bridge is expected to be used by about 11,000 cyclists daily.
