Willemsbrug, Nieuwe Maas, Rotterdam, Netherlands - 5191

The Willemsbridge (Dutch: Willemsbrug) is a bridge next to the Erasmusbrug in the centre of Rotterdam, spanning the river Nieuwe Maas. It links the northern part of the city with the Noordereiland and (in combination with the Koninginnebrug) the district of Feijenoord.
The bridge was completed in 1981, designed by C. Veerling and named after King Willem III of the Netherlands. It replaced an older bridge which had been opened in 1879 but was severely outdated by the time the decision was made to build a new one. Because of the intensity of the traffic using the old bridge, it was decided to build the new one 150 metres upstream to avoid upsetting the daily flow of traffic across the river. After the completion of the new bridge the old one was demolished.
The Willemsbrug is a cable-stayed bridge with a total span of about 318 meters. It is painted in a red color which puts it in sharp contrast with the light blue painted Erasmus Bridge.

Because there are questions about the cable with hook and ring in the foreground, this is an artwork from 1983 'Maasbeeld'.
The artwork is 182 meters long and consists of steel wire and some abstract elements hanging above the New Maas water. At high tide one bulb drives into the water. Due to the wind and possibly the wave, the work of art is usually in motion.
