P1040750

            The Queen Emma Bridge crosses St. Anna Bay in Willemstad, the capital of the Caribbean island of Curaçao.  It was built in 1888 and was recently restored.  
 
The bridge connects the Punda and Otrobanda quarters of the city.

The pontoon bridge is supported by 16 pontoon boats.  The bridge is hinged and opens regularly to allow passage of oceangoing vessels.  When opening, the bridge swings to the Otrobanda side.

Locally, the bridge is known as 'Swinging Old Lady'.

This painting of the bridge is beside the entrance on Otrobanda side.  The painting shows the buildings along the Handelskade in the other side.
