The Rotterdam Erasmus Bridge seen from a great height, namely from the de Rotterdam building.
Besides the Willemsbrug, the Erasmus bridge is the second bridge across the Nieuwe Maas river in the centre of Rotterdam in the Port of Rotterdam and is named after the Dutch priest and humanist Erasmus. The bridge connects the Kop van Zuid district with the city centre on the north side of the river.
The Erasmus Bridge was designed by Ben van Berkel (UNStudio) and completed in 1996. The 284-metre-long cable-stayed bridge has a 139-metre-high articulated asymmetrical steel pylon. This gives the bridge its nickname "The Swan".
