The bridge is not in use any more. It has the status of a historical landmark (monument). In 2017 it has been renovated during which the 'bridge' part was removed for some time (years) and the city government promised that it would never be removed again. Now, they have agreed that this part of the bridge will be removed again for a certain period. Removing the part is not trivial as it was not designed to be easily removed.

But still, Rotterdam wants to keep the shipbuilding and outfitting industry in the region strong. Removing this bridge for a few days really isn't a big deal. If the yacht was not owned by someone well known it would not go beyond Rotterdam local news.
