The Hollandse Brug is a bridge structure that crosses the Gooimeer and the IJmeer in the Netherlands. The bridge carries both the Flevolijn heavy rail railway and the A6 motorway, plus a cycleway and footway.

## History and importance

The bridge opened on June 4, 1969 (1969-06-04) and, since then, has been the main link between the Randstad (the conurbanation including Amsterdam, The Hague and Rotterdam) and the province of Flevoland, including its two largest cities Almere and Lelystad. In 1987, the bridge carrying the Flevolijn railway between Weesp and Almere Buiten was opened adjacent to the Hollandse Brug.
