The Rotterdam skyline at night with the Erasmus Bridge in the dark.
Kop van Zuid was originally used as a port site. With the shift of Rotterdam's port to the west, this area was redeveloped in the late 1980s based on a plan by Riek Bakker and Teun Koolhaas. An important part of this plan was a new bridge ("Nieuwe Maasbrug") that would open up Kop van Zuid from the city centre. Teun Koolhaas' designs already included a single-pylon bridge[3].
The first designs for the bridge were by Maarten Struijs, architect of municipal works,[4][5] who started making designs for the future bridge from 1987. Struijs' final design was a so-called 'four-pylon bridge' that was supposed to cost 325 million guilders (€147 million).
