The Suurhoff Bridge in the A15 motorway is the gateway to the Rotterdam port area and the Maasvlakte. The bridge carries much more and heavier traffic than was envisaged during its construction in the 1970s. The Suurhoff Bridge is one of eight steel bridges in Rijkswaterstaat's Programme for the Renovation of Bridges (PRB), in which the lifespan of steel bridges is often extended by decades. A joint venture of Royal HaskoningDHV and Arup is working as Managing Contractor (MC) on this complex conundrum. Commissioned by Rijkswaterstaat, we were looking for the right balance between the technical possibilities, safety, monumental value, sustainability, circularity and the ultimate goal of the assignment to guide more and heavier (freight) traffic safely over the bridge also in the future.
