The Bridge to Dublin

Back the first Sunday of May a bridge built in a Rotterdam suburb made it's way to it's home in Dublin where my understanding is it's a foot/bike bridge connecting two places. Many people came out to see this spectacular event.

The Koninginnebrug opens to let it through:




Then it stopped for a long time right in front of where I was standing. They had to bring another barge to help it move forward. And you guessed right, it's called the Harp Bridge and supposed to look like a harp, Ireland's "symbol" according to the news.



The barge has been attached on the side and it began it's move to the Erasmusburg.


The bridge approaches the open Erasmusburg:


And at this point my camera batteries ran out and I forgot to bring extras, something I usually always have with me. Oh well, I saw it and got both bridges together with the open bridge. I do hope to see it in place in Dublin one of these days.
