Brug bij Vroenhoven, Cable-stayed bridge over Albert Canal in Riemst, Belgium

Description

Brug bij Vroenhoven is a cable-stayed bridge crossing the Albert Canal with separate roadways for vehicles and pedestrians on each side. The structure spans the waterway with tall pylons visible from the surrounding countryside.

History

The original bridge witnessed military conflict in the opening days of World War II when German forces attacked the position. The current structure was rebuilt after the war and represents the region's recovery.

Culture

This crossing links communities on either side of the waterway and supports everyday movement through the region. Locals rely on it as a practical route that connects villages and farmland across the valley.

Practical

Access is straightforward since the bridge is open to regular traffic and has a wide pedestrian path on each side. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear as the surface can be slippery in wet weather.

Did you know?

The bridge's steel beams vary in height in a way that visibly displays the forces moving through the structure during use. This design lets visitors literally see how the engineering works without needing explanations.
