The Waalbrug is an arch bridge over the Waal River in Nijmegen, Gelderland, the Netherlands. The full length of the Waalbrug is , the middle of the arch being about high. The arch itself is long and was the longest arch in Europe at the time of construction.
Unlike many other bridges from the same period and with the same construction, like the IJsselbrug near Zwolle, the Graafsebrug and the John Frost Bridge at Arnhem, the Waalbrug is an arch bridge in the literal sense: all forces truly work on the two pylons.
