Its deck is held aloft by a system of tie rods attached to two V-shaped steel towers the colour of red lead (Historical information was taken from Architectuurgids Rotterdam that was a present from Audi on my birthday! Thank you Audi!) .

Finally, in October there was an event put on by 'YourCity09' in Rotterdam Zuid called 'I Bridge You'. I have found another blogger that has covered this event impeccably. Please visit: http://observatoriumrotterdam.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
