About

It crosses the Nieuwe Maas in the centre of Rotterdam, connecting the north and south parts of the city. The bridge was named in 1992 after Desiderius Erasmus, a prominent Christian Renaissance humanist also known as Erasmus of Rotterdam. The Erasmus Bridge is Rotterdam's most important landmark and is even part of the city's official logo.
