Before this new bridge was built, there used to be another bicycle bridge with stairs. Commonly known as "The passerelle". Many cyclists have cursed a number of times to get the bike up and down. For some, the Scheldt Bridge was a worthy alternative for cars, despite the detour.

Cycle bridge with a gentle slope to go to the city center. The ramp leads directly to the city center at a slightly higher elevation.
