(luckily, I was one of those 12%, after falling in love with Rotterdam's Erasmusbrug while living there…)

#CommunityDesignAdvisoryGroup, 20 volunteers tasked with review and a final recommendation, decided not to choose between the public’s top 3 choices.

The 802-metre-long (2,631 ft) bridge across the New Meuse was designed by Ben van Berkel and completed in 1996. The cable-stayed bridge section has a single 139-metre-high (456 ft) asymmetrical pale blue pylon with a prominent horizontal base, earning the bridge its nickname "The Swan".[1]
