Vlotwateringbrug(俗称“棒球队桥”)已于10月初向公众开放。该桥梁有三个特定的组成部分，为几个蝙蝠物种提供栖息。在北侧，桥台起着冬日停留的作用。甲板和砖头栏杆在夏季为蝙蝠提供住宿。

The Vlotwateringbrug or popularly ‘batbridge’ has opened for the public in the beginning of October. The bridge has three specific components that provide roost for several bat species. At the north side the abutment functions as a winter stay. The deck and the brick balustrade accommodate stays for bats during the summer.

桥梁设计的目的是为不同种类的蝙蝠提供理想的栖息地，目的是要培育出一个庞大的群体。哺乳动物协会的蝙蝠专家MarcelSchillemans说：“一个教科书上的例子说明了一个功能物体如何同时服务于自然。”

The bridge design is intended to constitute the ideal habitat for various species of bats, aiming to grow a large colony. “A textbook example of how a functional object can at the same time serve nature,” says bat-expert Marcel Schillemans from the Mammal Society.

该项目位于几种蝙蝠的飞行路线上。为优化桥梁对蝙蝠的适应性，采用混凝土结构。混凝土的质量提供了一个稳定和宜人的气候。桥下设有入口槽。这些开口的抓地力很粗糙。这些槽是混凝土拱上的沟槽的一部分。巧妙地利用横截面上的结构空间来实现屋顶。

The project is located along a flight route of several bat species. To optimize the suitability of the bridge for bats, the structure is made out of concrete. The mass of the concrete provides a stable and pleasant climate. The underside of the bridge is provided with entrance slots. The openings have a rough finish for grip. The slots are part of a pattern of grooves in the concrete arch. Clever use is made of the structural space in the cross section to implement the roosts.

穿过沃特河，在现有的两个包裹之间蜿蜒而行，标志着波尔区的入口处。在最高点，这座桥转了一个弯，以便清楚地看到这一地区。木片为沿河天然堤岸提供了开放的空间。混凝土拱门的长度为25米，横跨整个悬浮物。S形甲板的支撑有一个在桥下倾斜的压力弧.

Crossing the Vlotwatering the new bridge winds between two existing parcels and marks the entrance of the Poelzone. At the highest point, the bridge makes a turn for a clear view of the area. The wooden lamellas provide openness to the natural banks along the water. With a length of 25 meters the concrete arch spans the entire Vlotwatering. The S-shaped deck is supported with a pressure arc that slants under the bridge.

蝙蝠桥成为Poelzone的一部分，这是西部地区位于Gravenzande、Naaldwijk和Monster中心之间的狭长区域。沿着水路，将建立一个新的绿色游憩区，拥有天然河岸和鱼类产卵地。洛拉景观的景观设计是为了加强现有的绿色和生态联系，自然和娱乐价值互补。

The bat bridge becomes part of the Poelzone, an elongated area in the Westland between the existing centres of ' s- Gravenzande , Naaldwijk and Monster. Along the waterway a new green recreational zone with natural banks and spawn sites for fish will be realized. The landscape design by LOLA Landscape is made to strengthen the existing green and ecological connections in which natural and recreational values complement each other.
