The Erasmusbrug, or Erasmus Bridge, is a striking cable-stayed bridge in Rotterdam, Netherlands, recognized for its unique and modern design, which has earned it the nickname "The Swan" due to its graceful, asymmetrical pylon. Completed in 1996, it spans the Nieuwe Maas River, connecting the northern and southern parts of the city, and serves as a vital piece of infrastructure for both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. The bridge's elegant architecture, with its 139-meter-high pylon and 800-meter length, makes it a quintessential symbol of Rotterdam's innovative spirit and architectural prowess. It is particularly stunning when illuminated at night and often serves as a backdrop for major events, including the annual World Port Days and the Rotterdam Marathon, making it a must-see landmark for visitors.
