The railway bridge over the Schipdonk Canal was built in 1947, after the original bridge was blown up during the war. The bridge is 75 years old and it shows. It no longer meets current standards and needs to be repaired.

This railway bridge over the Schipdonk Canal in Balgerhoeke from 1947 is a well-preserved example of a lifting bridge for railway traffic. The bridge was on the Eeklo-Maldegem-Bruges line. The bridge is still used by the historic trains of the Stoomtrein Maldegem-Eeklo association (the former Stoomcentrum Maldegem).

An old railway bascule bridge would almost be nicer to build a cycle path here.
