Koninginnebrug (Rotterdam)
From Graces Guide
The Koninginnebrug (Queens Bridge) connects the Noordereiland (Northern Island) with the South of Rotterdam, crossing the river Nieuwe Maas. The old Koninginnebrug opened in 1876, was a swing bridge. The new bridge (1929) is a double bascule bridge with a counterweight of 800 tons in each part. Bridge keepers formerly operated the bridge from the four control rooms with the green copper roof tops. The architect was Albert Hendrik van Rood. [1]
