Van Praet Bridge, Girder bridge in City of Brussels, Belgium.
The Van Praet Bridge extends across the Charleroi and Willebroek canals, serving as both a road and tram transportation corridor within the Brussels infrastructure network.
Built in 1956 during Brussels' post-war development phase, the bridge received its name from Jules Van Praet, a principal collaborator of Belgium's first king Leopold.
The bridge connects multiple Brussels neighborhoods, functioning as a central meeting point where residents observe canal activities and maritime traffic throughout the day.
Commuters traveling through Van Praet Bridge experience frequent traffic congestion during morning and evening rush hours, particularly in the direction of downtown Brussels.
The structure accommodates an integrated transport system where road vehicles and tram lines share the crossing space over the water channels of Brussels.
