High water bridge Hoxweerd bridge

The high-water bridge that turns the Steinse village of Maasband into an island at a high water level in the Maas. The bridge has been given the name Hoxweerd Bridge. The name of the bridge is a reference to Hoxweerd, a forest area that used to be on this spot.

Bridge for island in the Meuse

In the rustic Maasband, Stevacon is building together with Boskalis (Brug Maasband Combination).

on a bridge over the high-water channel. The work is part of the Grensmaas Project. Our sister company Van den Biggelaar Grond- en Waterbouw is also involved in the realization and improvement, as part of the consortium, of safety in the catchment area between Maastricht and Roosteren since 2008.

To improve safety, the Meuse river bed has been widened, banks lowered and dikes strengthened and raised. Meanwhile, villages and towns along the Maas in South Limburg are no longer flooded. And the new nature reserves that have been created as a result of the work are flourishing.

Living on an island

To give the Meuse even more space at high water levels, a secondary channel is being constructed. For the residents of Maasband, this means that they will live on an island in the Maas and an access bridge is necessary. The design of the bridge was therefore drawn up in consultation with the residents. A competition has even been held among the residents of the village for the name of the bridge. Hoxweerd has become the new name. Hoxweerd is the name of the former forest area in which the bridge has taken shape over the past year.

The bridge

The deck and pillars of the approximately 160 meter long bridge are made entirely of cast-in-place concrete. The six pillars are 10 meters high and have a specific shape. The bridge deck is over 9 meters wide and 1.15 meters thick and is prestressed after pouring. After the bridge is completed, Consortium Grensmaas can start digging the secondary channel.
