Kuilenburgse spoorbrug, Railway bridge in Culemborg, Netherlands
The Kuilenburgse spoorbrug extends 670 meters across the Lek River with a main span measuring 154.42 meters and a height of 25 meters.
The initial bridge, constructed between 1863 and 1868, held the record for the longest rail-only span worldwide until 1878.
The bridge design by Gerrit van Diesen introduced semi-parabolic arch construction techniques that influenced subsequent railway bridge engineering in the Netherlands.
The current structure, built in 1983, maintains two railway tracks for the Utrecht-Boxtel line with a navigation clearance of 16.2 meters.
The bridge received a special mention at the National Steel Prize in 1983 for its advanced engineering solutions and structural design.
