This bridge is the only tangible evidence of Wijnhaven's pre-war grandeur. Inspired by 19th-century bridges in Paris, it is named after Queen Emma, who was then Queen Regent. It has a cast-iron structure and a concrete deck. The three arches and the balustrades are of stone, with four sculpted lions standing guard at the corners. Decorated brass lamps and carved fish provide further embellishment.
