An evening shot of the skyline of Rotterdam with the Erasmus Bridge and Zalmhaven Tower. The Erasmus Bridge is the second bridge over the New Maas River in the center of Rotterdam in the Port of Rotterdam, next to the Willemsbrug, and is named after the Dutch priest and humanist Erasmus. The bridge connects the Kop van Zuid district with the city center on the north side of the river.
The Erasmus Bridge was designed by Ben van Berkel (UNStudio) and completed in 1996. The 284 meter long cable-stayed bridge has a 139 meter high asymmetrical steel pylon. This gives the bridge its nickname "The Swan".
