Good Cycling Facility of the Week: 20th July 2017

This week's Good Facility is a wide cycleway on a bridge over the Maas river near the town of Heusden in Nord Brabant, in the Netherlands.

The bridge also carries a fast N-class road (the equivalent of an A-road in the UK) - but importantly has wide cycleways on each side, which can be used in either direction. You can see people cycling in the same direction on either side of the bridge in this photograph. 

These paths are connected on either side of the river to the local cycling network, and represent a significant shortcut for local trips, compared to motoring.
