| NL - Rotterdam - Drooglever Fortuynplein - aerial view from 1958 |
| One of the oldest rounabouts in NL, the crossing of the Westzeedijk (main city road) with the 's-Gravendijkwal (lower level), at that time part of the E10, the main connection road in the North-South connection in the West of The Netherlands. The traffic from the highways was led across the city. Left on the photo you see two connections because there are the Coolhaven locks, so this way the road traffic could always go on, even if one of the twp bridges were closed because the ships were leaving the lock. |
