The new bridge is being built according to the principle of the 'generic bridges' that are used at various locations along the Albert Canal. In the long term, more than 20 similar bridges will be built according to this principle. The bridge will be raised approximately 2 meters to a vertical clearance of 9.10 m. The canal will be widened from 50 m to 86 m.

FEATURES OF THE NEW BRIDGE

Bridge length: 123 m

Arch height: 22 m above road surface

With almost 40 million tonnes of goods transported per year, the Albert Canal is the most important waterway in Flanders. Container transport in particular has seen a steep rise in the past decade. As part of the capacity increase of the Albert Canal, De Vlaamse Waterweg nv is therefore investing in the further development of the Albert Canal. The current limitation in clearance height and width under the bridges is a bottleneck for inland shipping on the Albert Canal. Raising the bridges to a clearance height of 9.10 m makes it possible for inland vessels with four layers of containers to sail safely and smoothly. In addition, Short Sea Shipping on the Albert Canal will also have better opportunities.
