Execution Bridge, Stone tram bridge in Ghent, Belgium
The Execution Bridge stretches across the Ringvaart canal with a steel structure consisting of isosceles triangles and three-armed supporting pylons.
The bridge received its name from its former function as an execution site between 1297 and 1585 where criminals faced capital punishment.
The structure incorporates a white deck with black exterior trusses, reflecting contemporary Belgian architectural principles in transportation infrastructure.
The bridge includes dedicated cycling paths on both sides, connecting the main city of Ghent with the Zwijnaarde district for multiple transport modes.
The bridge forms part of the Flemish Pegasus program, featuring two separate tramway crossings over both the Ringvaart canal and E40 motorway.
