Massive Bridge Moved Through Netherlands River

Massive Bridge Moved Through Netherlands River

A new, 200-meter-long bridge was transported from the heart of Rotterdam, in the Netherlands, Monday, May 10, to its temporary home in the city’s port area.

Tugboats moved the new Suurhoff Bridge under a series of bridges on the Maas River.

The meticulously planned effort taking the bridge from its construction site took hours and will continue over the coming days.

The structure will land alongside the old Suurhoff bridge while it’s being renovated. (AP)
