About this audio guide
This guide to the Erasmusbrug in Rotterdam starts on a Monday morning in September 2020, with the southern bascule just lowered back into place and a tram driver waiting at the edge to cross. It looks at the bridge as a workplace rather than a monument: the leaf that tilts for river traffic, the daily flood of vehicles, and the crews who keep it running. Stand near the southern end, facing the steel leaf.
