The Calandbrug in Rotterdam’s Botlek area is closed to road traffic and shipping after a fault left its movable section stuck half open. ProRail says it does not yet know how long repairs will take, leaving drivers to take a diversion and vessels unable to pass beneath the bridge. [1]
The bridge has been unusable since Monday morning. ProRail says the fault may be in one of the four supporting piers. A contractor and maintenance workers were investigating on Monday afternoon, but the cause had not been established. [1]
Earlier this month, the bridge was closed to road traffic for several days because lasers were giving incorrect measurements. The Calandbrug, a former railway bridge, is managed by ProRail. [1]
