Went across the bridge as part of in island tour. Pretty amazing view of cruise port and Carnage which is hidden from the cruise port. You don't realize it is their until you are on top of the bridge. Huge ships come in a go past the pontoon bridge and under the Queen Juliana Bridge.

This super high bridge connects east (Punda) and west (Otrobanda) sides of Willemstad. The panoramic views, especially to the south side, are breathtaking, especially at sunset---but there is no designated place to stop. When joining the bridge leaving the Otrobanda side to Punta, there is one spot on a tight curve where a car can pull over to park -... More

Main and vehicle means from one side of the capital to the other. Extremely high to enable the oil tankers to enter and leave the bay to and from the petroleum pollution based facilities.

It is strange to review a bridge which just gets you from one side of the bay to the other. Yes the view is good, but the driver needs to be paying attention to the traffic.

You cannot beat the view from this bridge! You can see over the whole city and it is gorgeous. The building are all different colors and you can see the cruiseliners where they are ported. Takes your breath away, great photos taken here!

Have your camera ready when you go across. The photo ops are amazing and if you are lucky to go across at sunset you will want the pic.

Seems to be some confusion on here with the pontoon bridge - this is the big blue bridge at the back of the bay entrance. Not the one floating on the water at the front! Having said that is great piece of work - apparently highest bridge in Caribbean. Great views from the top of the whole Willemstad. When driving... More

Amazing site to see. The view of the harbor and the ships is great. Waiting on the bridge when it is moved for a freighter or cruise ship can be daunting but a neat experience.

The sight of the bridge from Willemstad is good. To travel over it even better. The views are breath taking. We also cruised under it from our ship!
