Van Brienenoordbrug - Rotterdam

Van Brienenoordbrug - Rotterdam
This 1320 meters bridge with the highway 'A16' on it is one of the biggest bridges in Holland. This bridge only opens for big or special boats. A unique moment because that does happen rarely due to heavy traffic. The bridge is called "Van Brienenoordbrug", named after  the famous Dutch baron and salesman Van Brienenoord.
