Pont-barrage de Monsin, Bridge and dam structure on the Meuse River in Liège, Belgium
The Pont-barrage de Monsin combines a road bridge with water control mechanisms, featuring sluice gates that regulate the flow of the Meuse River.
The construction of this infrastructure project started in 1928, with metal components manufactured by the local Cockerill company before its 1930 inauguration.
The bridge represents a significant engineering achievement from the 1930 Liège International Exposition, marking the city's industrial development period.
The structure connects Jupille to the Port of Liège while managing water levels, serving both transportation needs and flood prevention purposes.
During the Battle of Belgium on May 11, 1940, the bridge-dam experienced partial destruction but continues to function as a dual-purpose infrastructure.
