Bridge number 5 (Brug Vijf) Joes Kloppenburgbrug. This is a plate bridge in Amsterdam Center and connects the Raamsteeg with the Oude Spiegelstraat and leads over the Singel. On October 10, 1995, the bridge was made a municipal monument.
The bridge was originally nameless but was unofficially called the "Raambrug" after the Raamsteeg, but also called "Appelmarktbrug" or "Appelmarktsluis" after the apple market that used to be kept nearby. On July 5, 2016, the bridge was officially named after Joes Kloppenburg who died on August 17, 1996 in senseless violence in Voetboogstraat, where the bridge is not far from. The mention is intended as a symbol against senseless violence . The official nameplate was attached September 26, 2017.

Bridge number 4 (Brug Vier) Heibrug.

For more of the same you can check out my new lockdown Instagram which is 12% more thrilling than the bridges of Madison county. @bruggenvanamsterdam

Another standard fixed bridge in the centre of Amsterdam. Along with bridges 1 and 2 this bridge spans the Singel and forms the connection between the Heisteeg (towards the center) and Wijde Heisteeg (towards the west). Hei or Hay in English is likely named along with both alleys after Hayblok, a corner house nearby.

For our anniversary @eurolambo booked @bridgesamsterdam sadly given the current circumstances we couldn't eat out so instead we had it at home.

Delicious.

Throwback to @eurolambo and I on our first weekend away together in Copenhagen. Easter 2007.
Today we are celebrating 14 years since we met.

Krijtbergbrug sometimes called sluis instead of brug (Sluis originally or is still a lock) (Brug No. 3) Bridge No. 3
Named after the neighbouring Krijtberg or Sint Franciscus Xavieruskerk on the Singel. The church dates from 1883 and took the place of the former secret church in the Crijtberg house, which served the Jesuits.

Love the seasonal Tony's flavours in wrappers that hint at their origins and a protest (thanks @la_bellita_com for the info). Kit Kat inspired wafel and Toblerone inspired noga. Lekker and a good cause highlighting that not all chocolate is as good for the people who make it as it is to eat.

De Heiligewegsluis (brug no. 2) is een vaste brug in Amsterdam-Centrum. @bruggenvanamsterdam

The bridge provides the connection from the western quay of the Singel to the Heiligeweg .
It's also where the flower market starts so if you've visited Amsterdam you may have already been across both this bridge and bridge no.1 (Muntsluis)
