Netherlands opened the world's first 3D-printed concrete bridge, mainly for the use of cyclists. The bridge is 26 feet long and less than 12 feet wide. The bridge is made of reinforced, pre-stressed concrete. Printing the bridge took around 3 months. It consists of nearly 800 layers. The bridge was commissioned by the province of North-Brabant and led by the company BAM Infra. The bridge's elements were printed locally at the Eindhoven University of Technology.
