Roman bridge in Maastricht, Roman bridge remains near Sint Servaasbrug, Netherlands

The Roman bridge crossed the Meuse River at a natural ford, connecting the main road between Tongeren and Cologne during the first century.

Archaeological studies reveal multiple reconstructions of the bridge piers, with the initial wooden structure dating from approximately 50 CE near present-day Maastricht.

The crossing point established Maastricht as a central location along the Via Belgica, leading to the development of a settlement with temples and military structures.

The remains of the Roman bridge foundation lie underwater in the Meuse River, slightly south of the medieval Sint Servaasbrug bridge location.

The Museum Cellar at Hotel Derlon contains preserved sections of the Roman road that connected to this ancient bridge crossing point.
