The Drie Fonteinenbrug, located south of Brussels in Sint-Pieters-Leeuw, is a remarkable structure consisting of two bridges: one 180-meter bridge for freight traffic and one 325-meter bridge for cyclists. The bridge has a main span of 80 meters over the canal to Charleroi. The separate two-way cycle path provides a good connection to the new cycle highway and other cycle paths. The bridge also facilitates shipping due to the clear clearance of up to 7.20 meters, so that the bridge does not have to be opened for ships that want to pass. The design is characterized by its sleek simplicity and clear imagery, according to the principles of the Clear Line, a style that has its origins in the Belgium of Tintin creator Hergé. The two free-standing arches literally form the highlight of the bridge and are clearly visible to the millions of travelers who pass the Brussels ring road every year in a southerly direction.
