Van Brienenoordbrug

The Brienenoordbrug is an arch bridge for car traffic over the river Nieuwe Maas.

An average of 140.000 ships pass the bridge, every year. Approximately 500 of these ships are high enough to require the bridge to be opened, a process which takes 18 minutes. Suspending road traffic and opening the bridge takes 4 minutes, letting the ship pass takes 10 minutes, and closing the bridge requires an additional 4 minutes.
