Construction of the Van Brienenoord bridge in Rotterdam. A long 35 meter mast, one of the light towers of the bridge, is transported from the factory in IJsselmonde to the construction site. A smaller vessel sails underneath the bridge, while the bascule part is open. The road surface is asphalted.
