Iconic Bridge to Be Dismantled to Make Way for Amazon Founder Jeff Bezos' Superyacht

Jeff Bezos’ new yacht is so large that a bridge needs to be dismantled in order to let it pass.

Rotterdam’s historic Koningshaven Bridge will have to have the middle section removed to make way for Bezos’ superyacht, Euronews reported.

The yacht that is being built for the billionaire by the Dutch firm Oceanco is a record-breaking vessel, reported to be 417 feet long, according to the BBC.

The bridge is 95 years old. Its proposed temporary dismantling has sparked controversy, since Rotterdam’s city council promised to not touch the bridge after its restoration in 2017. It is considered a national monument.

After recent news stories, Rotterdam officials this week began walking back their arrangement with Bezos’ shipbuilder. The New York Times reported Thursday that a subsequent announcement by the city said they “had not yet approved the plan.”

Risky business and all for the sake of some @hole billionaire's arrogance and the stupidity brought on by greed.
