Port Economist Angry Over Suurhoff Bridge Problems: 'Bad for Rotterdam's Image'

Rijnmond24 September · 15:002 hours ago

Port economist Bart Kuipers criticizes the partial closure of the Suurhoffbrug, warning that the strategic blockade damages Rotterdam’s reputation as a quality port and harms the investment climate. Since cracks were found on September 16, daily traffic jams have reduced capacity, costing the transport sector approximately €600,000 per day. Kuipers blames delayed maintenance and calls for increased investment in inland waterways and rail to ensure predictability.
