The Melkwegbridge is a location with an identity of its own. Extending over the Noordhollandsch Canal, it connects the historical city center of Purmerend with the Weidevenne neighborhood. In order to comply with the gradient requirements for bicycle and wheelchair traffic, a bridge must be at least 100 meters long.
