Hofpleinlijnviaduct, Railway viaduct in Rotterdam, Netherlands
The concrete Hofpleinlijnviaduct stretches for 1900 meters through Rotterdam, featuring 189 arches and two tracks for train transportation.
Built between 1904 and 1908, this viaduct marked the first electric railway line in the Netherlands, connecting Rotterdam Hofplein to Scheveningen.
The spaces beneath the viaduct's arches transformed from empty cavities to commercial establishments, creating a network of shops and workshops.
The viaduct ceased railway operations in 2010 and currently undergoes renovation phases to convert its structure into public spaces and business areas.
The viaduct represents the first major reinforced concrete construction in the Netherlands, incorporating decorative stonework and sculptures by Jan Altorf.
