Viaduct of Moresnet, Railway viaduct in Moresnet, Belgium.
The Viaduct of Moresnet stretches 1,107 meters across the Geul Valley, reaching a maximum height of 52 meters above the valley floor.
German forces initiated the construction of this railway bridge in 1915 during World War I to transport military equipment between Aachen and Antwerp.
The structure represents early 20th-century Belgian engineering methods with its 22 bridge sections supported by five stone pillars and sixteen concrete foundations.
The viaduct underwent extensive restoration from 2002 to 2004, increasing the speed limit from 20 kilometers to 60 kilometers per hour.
The bridge features a transition point between Belgian 3kV DC and German 15kV AC power systems, requiring specialized locomotives for crossing.
