伊拉斯姆斯桥是架在新马士河的800米长大桥,此桥连接着鹿特丹的南北地区。我们为坐去往小孩堤防的船,先到新马士河边,下了地铁,到了地上,前面就看到白色的支柱,高达139米,很显眼,将这座支柱作为目标,走到大桥旁的码头。从那边看得更清楚,这非对称的支柱形状很独特,据说俗称为“天鹅”,我们坐的船穿过大桥下向上游走,果然,侧面看支柱的样子有点象河上的天鹅。
Aspects of Rotterdam to be enjoyed from the beautiful Erasmus Bridge. Wonderful to look at as you approach, exhilarating to stand upon and admire the city. Plus it helps you cross a body of water - what's not to like!
有一天晚上,我步行穿过了这座伊拉斯谟斯桥,那次的感受真的是太棒了。那天白天的时候我曾经走着路过这座桥,也曾经骑着车穿过这座桥,但是步行穿过这座桥却是与之前两者完全不同的一种感受。你可以看到电车从你身边开过,非常有趣,你还能看到桥下的水闸还有其他的一切。因为我在这座桥上走的时候是在夜间,所以我可以欣赏到鹿特丹港市那美丽的夜景。
站在桥上,你可以欣赏到鹿特丹一些著名景点的美丽景色。这个桥初始开放时,遇到风大的天气,就会上下震动。后来安装了KONI减震器之后,这个问题就解决了,不过电车经过时,你还是可以感觉到桥有轻微的震动。2009年,著名的舞蹈游行表演举行期间,曾有上千人在桥上舞蹈、走动。而这个桥也随着他们的舞动而不停的‘舞动’,着实有点吓人,最后不得不把音乐关掉。
Yes it's beautiful.. do you need to walk it? ... not unless it is a great weather day. However the collection of buildings at both ends is worthy of your time to investigate, so plan time for that in your visit.. and have lunch along the canal where the historic theater is.
nice to go for a stroll, crossing from the north to the south part of Rotterdam. There are some area's on the bridge where you get away from the traffic and chill in the sun, while enjoying the view over the water, watching the boats and the day go by...
In one way it is hard to review something as functional as a bridge. However, this one is so architecturally beautiful that it is worth visiting to look at whether you use it or not. That being said, it is a pleasure to use, accommodating pedestrians, cyclists, cars and trams - impressive!
We passed this bridge when we went to the Neeltje Jans and back to Noord Holland. By car we have intentionally take this route just to pass this beautiful architecture. One of the biggest bridges and could be the second biggest so far. Another engineering feat of the Dutch.It looks like a swan, an elegant swan floating the river of Rotterdam.
The Erasmus Bridge is yet another example of aesthetics in engineering. I will not write facts but the feelings.Not only does it connect the two sides of the river Maas, it connects new and old according to me. On the city side, you will see all new top class buildings and on the other are signs of older buildings probably most of them serving for the Port of Rotterdam. And when you take a cruise ride, like e.g. Spido, you can see the bridge from center line from far and you will clearly see how it is "so beautiful". As I was told it is a giant swan moving towards the Rotterdam.The walk by the side is very pleasing and if it sunny do find time to sit and meditate on one of the benches- feel like a yogi who is also a hi profile businessman. Not kidding! ;)
It is defitinely different from all other bridges in the country. The crossing is very pleasant if the weather allows and a great spot for photos with the view to Katendrecht and the New York Hotel
