| Abstract: |
This paper describes the history, the design, the structural assessment and the major challenges of the extensive renovation project of a historic railway lift bridge in Rotterdam, The Netherlands. The bridge was completed in 1927 and was the first one of its kind in Western Europe. It is considered as a living example of early 20th century bridge engineering art. |
