Special, recent bridge, inaugurated in 2020.
What makes the Brigands Bridge a real eye-catcher is that there is an opening between the two lanes that lets in light. In this way, the free space under the bridge - which would normally be shrouded in shadow - can be fully utilized and even a green axis of fauna and flora can develop under the bridge. The bridge is almost 300m long.

The somewhat rebellious name of the bridge was chosen by the people of Ingelmunster. The name refers to the historical nickname ‘brigand’ (or highwayman) that a group of Ingelmunster people from the 18th century were given after they resisted the French occupiers.

And... no, the rapper Brihang is not from Ingelmunster, but from Knokke-Heist, where the dialect 'brigand' (in West Flemish 'brihang') is of course also part of the local dialect.
