As early as the 19th century, Akkrum/Nes grew into a busy hub, thanks to the Leeuwarden–Zwolle motorway and the Boarn river, which was then widely used for freight transport. When the railway line was added in 1868, the village became even more accessible.

Bridge dimensions:
- Clearance height (when closed): 3.5 metres
- Bridge width: 5.5 metres

Do you have a large boat? Don't worry: this bridge can be operated remotely and can be opened. Check the website of the Province of Fryslân for the operating times of this and other bridges.
