架构师提供的文本描述。梅尔克威格桥是梅尔克威格大桥的延续，是卡纳尔斯普隆总体规划的一部分，连接威德文地区和历史城市中心，为了符合自行车和轮椅交通的倾斜要求，我们需要长度超过100米。

Text description provided by the architects. The Melkwegbridge, a continuation of the Melkweg, is part of the Kanaalsprong master plan and connects the Weidevenne district to the historical city centre.To conform to the angle of inclination requirements with regard to bicycle and wheelchair traffic, we needed a length of over 100 m.

因此，我们决定将自行车和轮椅交通与行人交通分开。行人通过一个高拱门穿过运河，达到12米以上的高度，有机会看到风景：旧的和新的之间的联系在这里是可以察觉的。因此，这座桥不仅仅是最快的过桥，它本身也是一个终点和吸引力。由于行人与单车交通是分开的，行人天桥可继续沿梅尔克威河的直达线向中心方向行驶。

We therefore decided to separate bicycle and wheelchair traffic from pedestrian traffic. Pedestrians cross the canal by a high arch, reach a height of over 12 m and stand a chance of a vista: the connection between the old and the new becomes perceivable here. The bridge thus becomes more than just the fastest possible crossing, it becomes an end and an attraction in itself. Because pedestrian traffic and bicycle traffic are separated, the footbridge can continue the direct line of the Melkweg in the direction of the centre.

自行车桥绕着水面，产生足够的长度来限制自行车道的倾角。开口的部分是对角线划分的，由两个旋转的桥面组成。

The bicycle bridge coils over the water to create sufficient length to limit the angle of inclination of the bicycle path. The section that opens is divided diagonally and consists of two revolving bridge decks.
