Zelzatebrug, Bascule bridge in Zelzate, Belgium
The Zelzatebrug spans across the Ghent-Terneuzen Canal, linking the eastern and western sections of Zelzate through the R4 ring road network.
The construction of Zelzatebrug in 1968 marked a major improvement in the regional transportation system, enabling efficient movement across the waterway.
The bridge stands near the ArcelorMittal steel factory, representing the industrial development and maritime heritage of the Flemish region.
The bridge opens approximately twenty times each day for ten to twenty minutes, allowing vessels to pass while maintaining road traffic flow.
Zelzatebrug serves as the designated route for vehicles carrying dangerous materials, which cannot use the nearby Zelzate tunnel due to safety regulations.
