 Brienenoordbridge by Forze
Quite often however the bridge opens with an enormous trafiic jam as result. If you are lucky you will see this huge piece of concrete being lifted in the air. Leave a Comment Address: East Rotterdam (A16)Directions: The best way to reach the Brienenoordbridge is by car or even bike.

 Willemsbridge by Forze
The Willemsbridge does not open for ships, large ships have to pass the Koninginnenbridge (which does open regularly). Especially at night the Willemsbridge looks very nice with all the lights. Leave a Comment Address: Centre, near Oude HavenDirections: The Willemsbridge can best be reached from Blaak metro station

The original Willemsbrug was built in 1878. This one was completed in the 1980's.

If you are flying into Rotterdam, the most important things you will notice in Rotterdam without even touching ground are Erasmusbrug (Erasmus bridge) and the river Nieuwe Maas. Erasmusbrug (Erasmus bridge) is the example of new architecture and it also connects North and South part of city.

The Willemsbrug is called the "golden Gate bridge" of Rotterdam. It was built in 1981, but it had two predecessors which date back to 1878. That is not only because of its red colour. It was the last (or first depending of your point of view) bridge of the Nieuwe Maas until the Erasmusbrug was built in 1996. When you are at the city center side, just look at the right side of the bridge. You will find a strange sculpture which is often called by its nickname "de waslijn" (the laundry line). For more information about that, look for my tip called "Maasbeeld", which is also the real name of this sculpture. Leave a Comment Directions: The big red thing over the Nieuwe Maas, quite near to the Kubuswoningen and oude haven.

The Erasmusbridge was designed by Ben Van Berkel and was ready in 1996. It became in a very short time the landmark of Rotterdam. The bridge is a so called cable stayed bridge. The pylon is 139 meters high. The special form of the pylon is why the bridge is nicknamed The Swan. The bridge connects the north and south part of Rotterdam. The design is a good example of modern architecture, without a computer the bridge could have never been built. Leave a Comment

 a beautiful modern bridge by mindcrime
Built in 1996 is a 900m cable stayed bridge that links the north and south of Rotterdam.
Because of its shape the locals call it -De Zwaan- (the Swan).
hopefully we took the metro to return back to the city because we were almost dead after a long walking Directions: we reached the spot that I took the pic with a water taxi and we returned back to the center with metro
