    The historic Visartbrug is a striking bascule bridge in Zeebrugge and inextricably linked to the origin of the port. The bridge spans the seaward side of the Visart lock, the very first sea lock in the port, thus forming the connection between the North Sea and the hinterland.

    The bridge and lock owe their name to Amedée Visart de Bocarmé, the then mayor of Bruges. Together with baron August de Maere, he was one of the great pioneers of the idea to give Bruges a full-fledged seaport.

    Here the bike path runs next to the 2-lane road.
    It bridges the connection dock.
    Stop at red! ;)
