King Baudouin Bridge

King Baudouin Bridge is a footbridge in Carleroé, Belgium, designed in the Art Deco style. The structure was built using prestressed and reinforced concrete, creating a functional crossing with distinctive architectural character.

The bridge was constructed during a period when Art Deco design influenced modern infrastructure development. It represents a moment in Belgian engineering when architectural style became part of everyday crossings.

The bridge is straightforward for pedestrians to access and cross on foot. Its compact size makes it easy to navigate in any weather or time of day.

The bridge employs prestressing technology, an advanced construction method that allowed its slender form despite its span. This makes it a notable example of technical efficiency in Belgian construction from that era.
