The bridge is the focal structure on the A15 Maasvlakte-Vaanplein motorway widening project and will be one of the largest lifting bridges in Europe. The bridge will lift to a maximum height of 45m.

It will have six lifting towers between which are suspended two bridge decks. The second deck is expected to be floated in during the weekend of 26 September.

The separate components of the two decks have being produced in Germany such that they could be transported by road. The components were brought to Schiedam by lorry in a total of 220 trips. The decks were assembled simultaneously on the wharf at Mammoet ready to float in and position.
