Viaduc de Beez, Highway bridge in Beez, Belgium
The Viaduc de Beez is a steel and concrete bridge that spans 579 meters across the Meuse River valley at a height of 42 meters. It carries the A4 motorway and serves as a key connection between the Brussels region and Luxembourg.
The bridge was constructed starting in 1968 and completed in 1970, creating a new passage across the Meuse River valley. This project represented a major advancement in Belgian road infrastructure during the post-war expansion period.
The bridge represents a significant advancement in Belgian engineering, constructed by the same company that built the Atomium in Brussels.
The bridge is visible while driving on the A4, and the valley below can be foggy, monitored by sensors for traffic safety. You can best view and photograph it from the roadside pullouts or from the valley floor below.
The main span over the Meuse reaches 151 meters, which was a remarkable technical achievement when the bridge opened. This single structural element demonstrates the engineering capability of Belgian builders in that era.
