デンデルモンデでの 周辺の簡単なハイキングとウォーキング

The Waasmunster Bridge, which carries the N446 over the Durme River in Waasmunster, is an old bridge in urgent need of replacement. The work was scheduled to run from autumn 2025 to the end of 2026. However, by the time I passed by at the end of October 2025, it had not yet begun. Legal proceedings before the Council for Permit Disputes appear to be delaying the process. The current bridge has been in place since 1931, and although the superstructure was rebuilt in 1950 after being destroyed during World War II, it is no longer in good condition. The steel structure exhibits significant corrosion damage, which is affecting the bridge's supporting structure. The bridge deck itself is also in poor condition. As a result, a tonnage restriction (60 tons) is currently in effect on the N446. Furthermore, the bridge's substructure is nearing its end of life and is showing cracks. Besides the structural problems, road safety (the lack of separation between motorized traffic, cyclists, and pedestrians) is also a concern on the bridge. The situation under the bridge is also no longer aligned with current needs and insights. To reduce the risk of flooding, a bridge is needed that provides more space for the river and nature.

The viewing platform, strategically located at the intersection of the four municipalities that form the Kalkense Meersen, not only offers stunning views of the green landscape and the old Scheldt arm, but also allows visitors to observe the landscape's evolution over the years. According to Michaël Crapoen of Natuurpunt Scheldeland, the platform is a real asset because it offers the opportunity to experience nature from a different perspective. In addition, numerous recreational cycling and walking routes converge here. (Scheldt Valley National Park)
