Oil tankers sailing to oil refineries via the St. Anna Bay on Curaçao have to pass the pontoon bridge. This pontoon bridge has to be moved for them to pass, which causes big traffic jams. To solve this problem a bridge has been built between Punda and Otrabanda. This bridge collapsed during the construction five years ago, after which it had to be rebuilt. With archive material from 1967 of the collapsed bridge.
