One of Rotterdam's most distinctive features, and its most famous, is the Erasmus Bridge.

The main pylon of the bridge, to which the cables attach, is several hundred feet high.
The Erasmus Bridge was finished in 1996 and connects the two sides of the city.
Since its opening, it has gained ample recognition, and has been showcased in movies, races, and concerts.

The Erasmus Bridge is the third bridge over the Nieuwe Maas and it is an extension of the Coolsingel between Leuvehoofd and Wilhelmina Square.
Because of its graceful form she was popularly nicknamed the Swan. The Erasmus Bridge is an endless source of inspiration for photographers, filmmakers, advertisers and even poets.
The most prominent feature of the Erasmus Bridge is the slim angled steel pylon 139 meters high, which opens on both sides of the deck into two parts. From the pylons thirty-two suspension cables lead to the bridge deck. Two thick stay cables anchor the pylon at the rear. The fixed part of the bridge is 284 meters long; and the movable part is 50 meters long. A large portion of the 31 meter width is occupied by a railway line and generous cycle paths and footpaths.

ERASMUS BRIDGE - Rotterdam (Netherlands)
ILLUMINATION OF THE ERASMUS BRIDGE IN ROTTERDAM
The Erasmus Bridge, designed by architect Ben van Berkel, is the tallest bridge in the Netherlands (height 139 meters) and the most important landmark in Rotterdam’s skyline since its inauguration in 1996.
With the Erasmus Bridge approaching its 21st anniversary, the city of Rotterdam and the architects from UNStudio, who designed the original lighting scheme of the bridge, wanted to revamp the lighting scheme with the latest in LED technology and dynamic possibilities to perform striking visual effects in mind.
Working in close collaboration with the architects from UNStudio, ACTLD’s team carried out a full quantitative and qualitative analysis, where both CCT/color & luminance/illuminance measurements were taken before and after the replacement of the old lighting equipment with new LED fittings (provided by Sill and installed by Dynniq) and advise on the lighting principles.
As an outcome of the study, ACTLD provided an assessment of the energy efficiency of the new lighting scheme, as well as the appearance, the range and the quality of the achievable color. The team could also test the performance of the transitions between lighting schemes and the potential for further customization.
Based on the initial lighting concept by UNStudio and following the conclusions of its assessment of the new LED equipment and control system, ACTLD supervised multiple lighting sequences to be featured during major events to highlight the visual identity of the Erasmus Bridge and emphasize its role in the heart of the city.

HOLLAND: Rotterdam city (arrival by train at Blaak Station)
Arrival in Rotterdam (1:30), Cube houses (2:00), central library (2:56), Market Hall (3:57), Erasmus Bridge (6:04), Central Station (7:34)
The near-complete destruction of Rotterdam's city centre during World War 2 has resulted in a varied architectural landscape including sky-scrapers, which are an uncommon sight in other Dutch cities. Rotterdam has the largest port in Europe.
Cube houses are a set of 40 innovative houses built in Rotterdam, designed by architect Piet Blom. Blom tilted the cube of a conventional house 45 degrees, and rested it upon a hexagon-shaped pylon. His design represents a village within a city, where each house represents a tree, and all the houses together, a forest. As residents are disturbed so often by curious passers-by, one owner decided to open a show cube, which is furnished as a normal house, and is making a living out of it. The houses contain three floors. The walls and windows are angled at 54.7 degrees. The total area of the apartment is around 100 square meters, but around a quarter of the space is unusable because of the walls that are under the angled ceilings.
The Market Hall is a residential- and office building with a market hall underneath, located in Rotterdam. The building was opened on October 1, 2014. Besides the large market hall, the complex houses 228 apartments, 4600 m2 retail space, 1600 m2 horeca and an underground 4-storey parking garage with a capacity of 1200+ cars. The inside of the building is painted with a 11.000 m2 artwork of Arno Coenen, named 'Hoorn des Overvloeds'. The artwork shows strongly enlarged fruits, vegetables, seeds, fish, flowers and insects.
The Erasmus Bridge is a combined cable-stayed and bascule bridge in the centre of Rotterdam, connecting the north and south parts of this city, second largest in the Netherlands. The southernmost span of the bridge has an 89-metre-long (292 ft) bascule bridge for ships that cannot pass under the bridge. The bascule bridge is the largest and heaviest in Western Europe and has the largest panel of its type in the world.
Rotterdam Central Station is the main railway station in Rotterdam. A total reconstruction of the station and its surroundings started in 2004 to cope with an increasing number of trains, for example the high-speed train between Amsterdam, Brussels and Paris. The current station building, located at Station Square, was officially opened in March 2014.

About the Erasmus bridge:
The Erasmusbrug (Erasmus Bridge) is a cable stayed bridge across the Nieuwe Maas (English: New Meuse) river, linking the northern and southern halves of the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands.
The Erasmusbrug was designed by Ben van Berkel and completed in 1996. The 802 metre long bridge has a 139 metre-high asymmetrical pylon, earning the bridge its nickname of The Swan.
The southern span of the bridge has a 89 metre long bascule bridge for ships that cannot pass under the bridge. The bascule bridge is the largest and heaviest in West Europe and has the largest panel of its type in the world.
The bridge was officially opened by Queen Beatrix on September 6, 1996, having cost 165 million Dutch guilders (about 75 million euro) to construct. Shortly after the bridge opened to traffic in October 1996, it was discovered the bridge would swing under particularly strong wind conditions. To reduce the trembling, stronger shock dampers were installed.
The bridge featured in the 1998 Jackie Chan film Who Am I?. In 2005 several planes flew underneath the bridge as part of the Red Bull Air Race.
In 2005, the bridge served as the backdrop for a performance by DJ Tiësto titled Tiësto @ The Bridge, Rotterdam. The performance featured fire fighting ships spraying jets of water into the air in front of the bridge, a fireworks barge launching fireworks beside the bridge, and multi coloured spot/search lights attached to the bridge itself.
The bridge was crossed during the prologue and the opening stage of the 2010 Tour de France.

Gateway to Europe Rotterdam-The Netherlands:
Rotterdam is the second-largest city and a municipality of the Netherlands. It is located in the province of South Holland, at the mouth of the Nieuwe Maas channel leading into the Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta at the North Sea. Its history goes back to 1270, when a dam was constructed in the Rotte, after which people settled around it for safety. In 1340, Rotterdam was granted city rights by the Count of Holland.
A major logistic and economic centre, Rotterdam is Europe's largest port. It has a population of 633,471 Rotterdam is known for its Erasmus University, its riverside setting, lively cultural life and maritime heritage.
Rotterdam is the largest port in Europe, with the rivers Meuse and Rhine providing excellent access to the hinterland upstream reaching to Basel, Switzerland and into France. In 2004 Shanghai took over as the world's busiest port. In 2006, Rotterdam was the world's seventh largest container port in terms of twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) handled.
The port's main activities are petrochemical industries and general cargo handling and transshipment. The harbour functions as an important transit point for bulk materials between the European continent and overseas. From Rotterdam goods are transported by ship, river barge, train or road. In 2007, the Betuweroute, a new fast freight railway from Rotterdam to Germany, was completed.
The extensive distribution system including rail, roads, and waterways have earned Rotterdam the nicknames Gateway to Europe and Gateway to the World
'Rotterdam' is divided into a northern and a southern part by the river Nieuwe Maas, connected by (from west to east): the Beneluxtunnel; the Maastunnel; the Erasmusbrug ('Erasmus Bridge'); a subway tunnel; the Willemsspoortunnel ('Willems railway tunnel'); the Willemsbrug ('Willems Bridge'); the Koninginnebrug ('Queen's Bridge'); and the Van Brienenoordbrug ('Van Brienenoord Bridge'). The former railway lift bridge De Hef ('the Lift') is preserved as a monument in lifted position between the Noordereiland ('North Island') and the south of Rotterdam.
