The City of Amsterdam will be investing heavily in its bridges and quays in the coming years to preserve its heritage. This will cause considerable disruption in the city, affecting residents and visitors. To educate them on the rationale behind these projects, Amsterdam organized various activities, including Lego Week 2023, and during the celebration of Amsterdam's 750th anniversary, it also gave special attention to the Lego models.
Commissioned by the municipality, two bridges were selected that typify inner-city bridges: a double-lift bridge and an arch bridge. Two models of these were created, digitized, instructions drafted, and delivered in a series of sets. The models offer a challenging building experience at two different levels. The instructions and order forms will be made public by the municipality.
