Tips

If you count carefully, you will only reach sixteen arches in reinforced concrete. Nevertheless, the impressive railway bridge above the Pede valley is called the viaduct De Zeventien Bruggen. The seventeenth is an extra bridge under one of the arches.

The viaduct dates from the interbellum, is 520 m long and between 18 and 22 m high.

It was built just after the foundation of the National Company of Belgian Railways, when freight transport by rail was at its peak.

The viaduct still forms an important connecting axis towards Brussels. As part of the Regional Express Network, the tracks were doubled from two to four. However, the bridge was too narrow so it was widened with a white, wavy construction.
