The Berlagebrug was named after Dutch architect Hendrik Petrus Berlage. While he only designed one building in Groningen, he co-authored a plan for the expansion of the city in 1928. Some of this plan was executed, some wasn’t, but the bridge he planned on this spot was finally realised after 80 years.

The sign uses capital O’s instead of 0’s for the year 2010.
