    The Maerebrug is a fixed, steel bridge for cyclists, pedestrians and riders. There are soft access ramps on both sides of the bridge so that road users can use the bridge smoothly. The bridge is 4 meters wide and spans a length of 33 meters.
    The construction of the bridge was integrated into the rural environment as much as possible.
    The bridge was named 'Maerebrug' in reference to the connection it makes to the two parts of Maerestraat, once one whole, but cut in two by the construction of the Nieuwpoort-Dunkirk canal. 'Maere' refers to 'mer', 'mar' (sea) or 'Moere'.

      The Maerebrug or La Passerelle Maere is a steel fixed bridge built in 2013 for walkers, cyclists and horse riders. The name comes from the Maerestraat, which was cut in two at the time by the construction of the Nieuwpoort-Dunkirk canal. Maere refers to 'mer' or 'mar' i.e. 'sea'.
      The bridge is located on the border France - Belgium

        The Nieuwpoort-Dunkirk Canal is a canal connecting the Belgian coastal town of Nieuwpoort with the French port of Dunkirk. It is part of a larger network of canals that connects the North Sea with the inland waterways of Belgium and France. It was built around 1630 by the Spanish, who then ruled Flanders. It is 32 km long and has one lock. It is used for both commercial and recreational shipping.
