The City of Rotterdam announced on Wednesday that a historic bridge in the Dutch port city would be temporarily dismantled to allow the passage of a ship, a huge sailboat built for former Amazon president and CEO Jeff Bezos, according to local media.
The flagship bridge dating back to 1878, which was repaired after its bombing in 1940 during World War II, is too low for the American billionaire's luxury yacht's 430 million yacht to cross. with the local media.
The shipbuilding company asked the municipality of Rotterdam to temporarily dismantle the bridge, removing its central section so that the ship could pass underneath.
