荷蘭Melkweg大橋，俗稱“銀河橋”，橫跨Noord-hollandsch運河，連接皮爾默倫德市歷史中心區與西南地區不斷發展的Weidevenne 區。銀河橋的建造是運河及其周邊地區總體發展規劃的第一階段。“設計團隊旨在打造一個具有特定標志的新區，以作為新舊兩個中心城區之間的連系紐帶。”

銀河橋，由NEXT建筑事務所設計建造。最引人注目的部分是一個巨大的拱形橋，水平面之上高達12米，與Melkweg路連綿延伸為一體，提供一種獨特的城市視野。登高望遠，讓銀河橋之上的行人從日常生活中的瑣碎平凡抽身出來，以一個新的視角，去領略皮爾默倫德市新城與歷史古城之間千絲萬縷的聯系。

拱形橋下方是自行車道，長達100米，恰似一個鐘擺橫跨水面。自行車道長度的確定出于對自行車和輪椅通行的最小坡度的考量。騎車者與行人分道而行，可經橋梁直線通達Melkweg (Melkroad)古城。步行橋重達85噸，由130級臺階構成，并采用鋼拱支撐。設計為運河及周邊地區預留了足夠的開闊空間。拱門高達12米，足以保證下方船只安全通行。當船只靠近時，下甲板可旋轉打開并一分為二，讓船只順利通行。

橋梁兩個組成部分銜接舒緩，自然融為一個整體。材料及色彩運用的延續性也為這個組合體增色不少。LED燈排列分布于橋梁兩側，不僅勾勒出橋梁輪廓；而且可讓人們在黃昏時分，置身橋上去領略城市的曼妙風光。

The Melkweg Bridge (the Netherlands) crosses the Noordhollandsch Kanaal and connects the historic center of Purmerend with the growing Weidevenne district in the south-west. The bridge is the fi rst stage in a master plan for the canal and its periphery.“The aim of the design team was to create a new area with a speci fi c identity, which could work as a connector between the old and the new center.”

The most striking part of the bridge, designed by NEXT architects, is a massive arch which reaches a height of 12m above water level and stands in a continuous line with the Melkweg-road, thus oあering an incredible view over the city. The high lookout gives pedestrians the opportunity to take a step back from their daily environment and, on a new level, experience the relation between the new and historic city of Purmerend.

The lower bicycle deck is made out of a 100m long bicycle deck that crosses the water like a pendulum. The length of this deck was necessary due to the minimum slope conditions for bicycles and wheelchairs.Separating cyclists from pedestrians, gave the opportunity to maintain the direct line of the historics Melkweg (Melkroad) within the bridge. The pedestrian bridge weighs 85 tons,consists of 130 steps and is supported by a steel arch. The design makes it able to retain the spatial openness of the channel and its surroundings. At 12 meters, this arch is high enough to allow boats to pass beneath; the lower deck splits into two parts that revolve open when boats are approaching.

Both bridge sections fl ow smoothly into each other and form one whole. This unity is enhanced by the continuity of materials and colors. In the edges of the bridge LED lines are applied that follow the contour of the bridge and guarantees a spectacular view on the bridge even after sunset.
