Pont de Godsheide

The Pont de Godsheide extends 264 meters across the Albert Canal, featuring four steel pylons that reach a height of 51.3 meters.

Engineer Hellmut Homberg designed this steel structure, which was constructed between 1977 and 1979 as part of a planned highway connection.

The bridge stands as an example of Belgian infrastructure engineering, incorporating a semi-harp cable system in its structural design.

Despite its substantial size and capacity, the bridge primarily serves local traffic needs, connecting communities on both sides of the Albert Canal.

The main span measures 210.2 meters in length, making it a substantial crossing point over the Albert Canal in the Limburg region.
