Harmsenbrug, Cable-stayed bascule bridge in Rotterdam port area, Netherlands
The Harmsenbrug extends 280 meters across the Hartelkanaal, featuring a main span of 108.6 meters and rising 11.5 meters above water level.
The bridge commenced operations on October 31, 1968, alongside the Calandbrug construction, establishing crucial infrastructure connections in the Rotterdam port region.
The structure bears the name of Willem Jacobus Hendrikus Harmsen, a distinguished director-general of Rijkswaterstaat who contributed to Dutch infrastructure development.
The bridge accommodates two traffic lanes in each direction, serving over 41,800 vehicles daily while maintaining passage for maritime vessels through its movable section.
In 2011, the addition of a separate cycle bridge enabled the conversion of the original bicycle path into an extra driving lane, increasing vehicle capacity.
