From a distance, these bridges look just like old-fashioned wooden bridges in a typical Dutch polder landscape, which is exactly the point! In reality, these bridges are the modernized version; made of composite with handrails made of recycled plastic.

Unlike the earlier wooden bridges, they are now largely maintenance-free, but not much else has changed. After the first series of five bridges, the municipality was so satisfied that they subsequently ordered three more.
