There's not that many burnable bridges these days - they're mostly made of steel and concrete it seems

All my ones were burnable. :).

De Hef (lit. 'the lift'), officially Koningshaven Bridge, is a vertical-lift bridge over the Koningshaven (Kings Harbor) channel at the port of Rotterdam, Netherlands. Built in 1927, the bridge was part of the Breda–Rotterdam railway line until it was decommissioned in 1993. Today, it is a Rijksmonument heritage site.

I hadn't heard of De Hef before. Looks like a fascinating bridge, both structurally and historically. It's cool to see unique solutions to engineering challenges like this, with the bridge operating as a vertical lift to accommodate ships passing beneath. Thanks for the educative post...
Funnily enough I can tell you're kinda bored as f :)
(correct me if I'm wrong)

You're welcome! I saw this bridge when I did a triathlon in Rotterdam a few years ago.

No I'm not bored, far from it, too much to do with a menagerie of teenage boys and cats, and a company and several chess teams to run! I do spend a bit too much time on Lichess though! :D

This is a bridge construction they built where I live, about 10 years ago.
The idea was to solve traffic issues and I think they did a great job.
No storm damage though.
