KORNWERDERZAND – To reach the Casemate Museum, visitors and volunteers had to brave dirty stair railings and a footpath with puddles of water in addition to the steep stairs. Splash guards should provide a solution.
Heat is not good for the swing bridges on Kornwerderzand. Due to expansion, the bridges sometimes cannot be opened. Rijkswaterstaat has found a solution to this. The bridges are cooled with salt water from the Wadden Sea.
Cooling with water is a good solution for opening the bridge. But not for visitors and volunteers of the Casemate Museum. There are puddles of water on the footpath and road. The result is splashing water caused by cars speeding through the water puddles over the bridge. Another consequence of water cooling is that the stair railings become dirty. Annoying, because the stairs are steep and most people could use some support. Visitors regularly arrive at the museum with dirty hands and sometimes with stained clothes.
Fortunately, this is now a thing of the past. Rijkswaterstaat commissioned Solidd Steel Structures from Sumar to install splash guards under the crash barriers to stop splashing water. This week the time had come. Splash screens have been installed on both sides of the bridge to the Casemate Museum. The footpath over the bridge has also been levelled. Great for the visitors and volunteers who will hopefully now reach the museum dry and with clean hands.
