Henk Wijnen composed the work Symphony Of A Bridge, incorporating sound, photography and video, in 1988. The main aspect of the work was the steel arch bridge in the district of Vianen. For this purpose, he received project subsidies from the city of Vianen as well as the Province of Utrecht.

The differing and changing views of a pedestrian, car driver or boatman were recorded in video and sound. The bridge and the fixed crossing point of two motions – above, the roaring traffic and the pedestrians crossing the bridge, and below, the sluggish river with its boats and barges – were recorded in photographs and paintings.

Ten years later, in 1998, Wijnen drove over the bridge towards Vlissingen together with Wim van Sijl. They discussed the threatened demolition of the bridge. Soon afterwards, a foundation by Wim van Sijl was established for preservation of the steel arch bridge. I became one of the foundation's advisors until 2022. He has litigated at the highest level to preserve this
