Nature Bridge Zanderij Crailo, The Netherlands

Ecoducts (also known as nature bridges) ensure that the environment in the form of flora and fauna can proceed on its journey undisturbed. These nature bridges usually help nature to cross man made obstacles like highways, national roads, railroads or canals. The year 2006 was a very special year. That year the inauguration of the longest nature bridge took place, called Zanderij Crailo in The Netherlands. The total length of this passage for nature is 800 m. Two concrete bridge constructions with a width of 50 m each form part of this connection enabling undisturbed passage for nature between two natural habitats.
