The Evert-Jan Bridge, known locally as the Strait Bridge or the Courbagne-Asring Bridge, is a complex of bridges spanning the Courbagne Strait in New Elkland. It carries about 260,000 vehicles a day on its two decks. It includes one of the longest bridge spans in Adula. Construction began in 2013 and was estimated to be completed by 2017, but costs inflated and ran over budget, ultimately completing 7 years late on January 25th 2024 at a total cost of ɐ6.4 billion.
