The Hovenring is a “roundabout” meant for bicyclists situated above a major highway intersection. The construction allows easy bicycle access from any direction to go any other direction while allowing the bicyclists to avoid dangerous interactions with the street below.
The structure also serves to hold lighting for the intersection.
It is between Eindhoven, Veldhoven and Meerhoven, in the Netherlands.
