Brug bij Vroenhoven, Cable-stayed bridge over Albert Canal in Riemst, Belgium
The Vroenhoven Bridge extends 195 meters across the Albert Canal with a central span of 100 meters and features separate lanes for vehicles and pedestrians.
The original bridge marked Belgium's entry into World War II when German forces launched a surprise attack on May 10, 1940.
The bridge complex includes a museum that presents exhibitions about World War II and the development of inland waterway navigation in Belgium.
The bridge museum welcomes visitors from Wednesday to Sunday, with guided tours available for groups of up to 20 people at €30 per hour.
The structure incorporates two steel beams of varying heights that create a visible force diagram, displaying the engineering principles in its physical form.
