Koninginnebrug, Double bascule bridge in Rotterdam, Netherlands.
The Koninginnebrug extends over the Koningshaven with two movable steel decks, each supported by counterweights of 800 metric tons.
The current bridge, designed by architect Albert Hendrik van Rood, replaced an 1870 rotating bridge and opened to traffic in June 1929.
Four round brick control houses with copper cone-shaped roofs mark the corners of this steel structure, representing Dutch industrial engineering.
The bridge operation moved from local control houses to remote operation from the Erasmus Bridge control center on Wilhelminapier.
When constructed in 1929, the Koninginnebrug stood as Europe's largest double bascule bridge, spanning a navigation width of 50 meters.
