This historical photograph from the Roel Dijkstra collection captures a remarkable event in Rotterdam’s history: the opening of the Maastunnel. The image shows a festive moment where hundreds of Rotterdammers walk through the brand-new tunnel before it was officially opened for traffic.

The Maastunnel, officially inaugurated on February 14, 1942, is the oldest traffic tunnel in the Netherlands and an iconic part of Rotterdam’s infrastructure. Construction began in the late 1930s, and despite the challenges of World War II, the tunnel was completed and remained a crucial connection between the northern and southern banks of the Maas River.

This photo highlights the significance of the moment. People of all ages, from families with young children to elderly citizens, gathered to walk through the tunnel – an opportunity that would no longer be possible once it opened to vehicles. The Maastunnel became not only a technical masterpiece but also a symbol of Rotterdam’s innovation and resilience.

This fine art print is a tribute to Rotterdam’s progress and a stunning reminder of a historic event. A perfect piece for those interested in infrastructure, urban development, and Rotterdam’s rich history.
