Scheepsdale bridge, Rolling lift bridge in Bruges, Belgium.
The Scheepsdale Bridge spans across the Bruges-Ostend Canal with a modern design that includes separate lanes for vehicles, buses, bicycles and pedestrians.
The current structure replaced a Vierendeel swing bridge from the 1920s during a major reconstruction project that began in 2009.
The bridge maintains the maritime heritage of Bruges by enabling both land transportation and water vessel navigation through its lifting mechanism.
The bridge features a 29-meter clear width and rapid tilting mechanism, reducing waiting times for both road vehicles and marine traffic.
The structure operates through 15-meter high roller arms that lift sideways, utilizing an arched foundation instead of a fixed pivot point.
