Koningshaven Bridge, commonly known as De Hef ('the lift'), is a vertical-lift railway bridge over the Koningshaven (Kings Harbour) channel at the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Built in 1927, the bridge was part of the Breda–Rotterdam railway line until it was decommissioned in 1993. [1]
The lifting bridge replaced a restrictive swing bridge, built in 1878. The two side spans were retained for the lifting bridge.
