Rijkswaterstaat has launched the second tender for the renewal of the Van Brienenoord bridge, seeking a contractor to transport and install both bridge arches. The project, which began advertising in August 2025, is divided into four contracts: the first covers the movable part of the bridge, the second focuses on transport and installation of the arches, and the remaining two will build a new arch in 2026 and renovate the existing western arch in 2027. The selected contractor will move the new western arch from a specialized bridge yard in Dordrecht to Rotterdam in 2030, remove the existing western arch to the yard, and later bring it back for installation on the eastern side in 2032. The work requires specialised heavy‑lifting and water transport expertise, including use of pontoons and strict traffic and safety measures.
