De Hef in Rotterdam

You're standing by De Hef in Rotterdam, the green steel railway bridge across the Koningshaven, between Noordereiland and Feijenoord. Its official name is the Koningshaven Bridge, but nobody calls it that. De Hef simply means the lift. Look at the two tall towers with the bridge deck between them. That middle section could rise like an elevator, so ships could pass underneath.
