Do you remember this? For example, we used to cross the A12 via the footbridge

Nowadays we know no better than that we cross the A12 from Driemanspolder and Rokkeveen via the Nelson Mandela Bridge. But until 1992 we did that via a brown-colored footbridge.

We also reached the train platforms of the Dutch Railways via the footbridge: on the Rokkeveen side this concerned the slow train to The Hague and Utrecht, on the Driemanspolder side it concerned the train platforms of the Sprinter (the predecessor of RandstadRail trams 3 and 4 ). The dark walkway had a pair of round windows. As a result, you could take a look at the highway and the cars that raced below you along the way.

We dug up some old photos of the footbridge in the archives. Have you ever walked through here? Check them out below:
