Butterfly Bridge - A Unique Tri-Bridge in Copenhagen
This newly built (January 2015) foot and cycle bridge, spanning Christianshavns and Trangraven Canals in Copenhagen, is unique as it is the only 3-way bridge in the World in which two sections open up like a draw bridge to allow flow of sailboats in these canals. The two movable decks operate independently of each other and are raised to allow the canal traffic to pass. When the two sections are drawn up at the same time, they look like wings of a large butterfly, hence the name.
