On Thursday, media reported that the Rotterdam authorities had agreed to temporarily dismantle the bridge for Bezos.
"The economical, especially the maritime, image of our region, and the technical - can we really [do it] without damaging it? We would also like to know whether the buyer will indeed reimburse the costs," Aboutaleb told Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad, adding "Let everyone wait and see what we decide."
The Koningshavenbrug bridge, better known as De Hef, was built in 1927. The Rotterdam authorities restored the bridge in 2017 and promised never to dismantle it again.
