Huy Railway Bridge

The first railway bridge (built on the Hesbaye-Condroz route, also called Landen-Ciney), built between 1865 and 1872, is a multi-lattice metal bridge resting on two piers and two abutments. On the downstream side is a pedestrian crossing. On 16 August 1872 it was opened to passenger trains. Belgian civilians blew up in 1914 to stem the advance of enemy troops. The construction of his successor, in quarries Sprimont and low arches, was completed in 1924; During World War II it is partially damaged. Thanks to the presence of the Delloye-Matthieu Tôleries in Marchin, there is still a small railway activity today.

In the heart of the region where the Industrial Revolution began on the European continent, you will find this beautiful iron bridge.
