It's a monumental bridge dating back to 1878, being the first of its kind in Europe. It was one of the first bridges to be reconstructed after the heavy bombardment of Rotterdam during WWII, and is a national monument. It holds significant value to the people living in the city. Any damage to it would be unacceptable. Meanwhile, the yacht-under-construction was partially constructed at a different boat wharf, and moved to the current location for finishing - including installing the masts. They could have chosen to finish it downstream of the bridge but chose not to due to convenience. Partially deconstructing a historic landmark to make it more convenient to build a billionaire's toy is not a good look.
