Spook bridge van Varsenare, Railway bridge in Varsenare, Belgium
The structure consists of two separate concrete bridges crossing Line 50A railway track in the municipality of Jabbeke, near the town of Varsenare.
Built in 1976 as part of the A17 highway project around Bruges, the bridges were never utilized after the road construction plans were cancelled in 1977.
The abandoned bridges gained local recognition and earned the name Spookbruggen, reflecting their status as unused structures within the Belgian landscape.
The bridges stood unused until 2011 and 2012, when authorities decided to demolish them and transform the area into a nature reserve.
The bridges featured a complete section of highway infrastructure, including asphalt and guardrails, despite never connecting to any actual road system.
