The Queen Emma Bridge, also known as the "Swinging Old Lady," is a floating pedestrian bridge located in Willemstad, the capital of Curaçao, a Caribbean island country that is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands. The bridge connects the Punda and Otrobanda districts, which are situated on opposite sides of the Saint Anna Bay.
The Queen Emma Bridge is notable for its unique design and functionality. Unlike traditional fixed bridges, this bridge is a pontoon bridge that swings open to allow boat traffic to pass through the narrow channel of the Saint Anna Bay. When the bridge is open, pedestrians can use a free ferry service to cross the bay.
