Bridge construction in Belgium is advancing steadily, with significant progress reported on 2025-06-14 18:48:00. The installation of key bridge components is underway, marking an important milestone for local infrastructure development. This project promises to improve connectivity and traffic flow in the region.
- Plaatsen brugdelen met drijvende bok Matador
- Matador tilt brugdelen tot 400 ton
- Eerste pijlers en aanbrugdeel geplaatst
- Aanbrugdeel weegt 200 ton, 55 meter lang
- Tweede aanbrugdeel volgt binnenkort
- Brug klaar voor gebruik volgend voorjaar
The placement of the bridge sections is being carried out using a powerful floating crane, the Matador, capable of lifting up to 400 tons. On this day, the first pillars and the initial bridge approach segment, weighing 200 tons and extending 55 meters, were successfully positioned. Additional sections will follow soon, with the entire bridge expected to open next spring.
How will this new bridge impact daily commutes and regional transport? And what does this mean for Belgium’s infrastructure future? The answers lie in the upcoming phases of this ambitious project.
Why is the timely placement of these bridge parts critical? Efficient installation ensures the project stays on track, minimizing disruption and costs. Key points to consider include:
- The Matador crane’s 400-ton lifting capacity enables safe handling of massive bridge sections.
- Each bridge part weighs around 200 tons and spans 55 meters, highlighting the engineering scale.
- Completion by next spring aligns with regional infrastructure goals to boost mobility.
As the next bridge sections are installed this autumn, local residents and commuters can look forward to improved travel routes. Stay informed about updates and prepare for a smoother journey across Belgium’s evolving transport network.
