Thanks For Watching!
Scheepsdale Bridge (Cantilever) Bruges, Belgium (Brugge), BRUGGE : Scheepsdalebrug
The bridge opens silently, notice how I miss the start of opening. Definitely of interest to all engineering fans but so was the old bridge.
This is a modern Cantilever Bridge or Rolling bascule bridge. With 15 metre high inclined roller arms. The new bridge is much wider that the previous one and has a separate bus lane and bicycle and pedestrian paths. For shipping, the central structure of the swing bridge is gone, increasing the passable width from 16 to 29 m.
The bridge is part of the N9 and crosses the Bruges-Ostend canal and connects the Scheepsdalelaan with the Blankenbergse and the Oostendse Steenweg.
The 725 tonnes weight of the bridge is balanced by ballast that is positioned in two 15 m-high arms of the bridge
The former bridge was designed by Arthur Vierendeel (1852-1940). Vierendeel taught at the Catholic University of Leuven and developed the revolutionary structure which bears his name: the Vierendeel truss.
The old bridge was also interesting from an engineering point of view in that it swung laterally, rather than opening upwards. In addition, while most of Vierendeel's bridges were welded, this one was riveted, since rivets were another construction feature Vierendeel thought should be used for decorative purposes.
The Old Bridge is still viewable on Google Maps street view (24May13). I guess the reason it was replaced is because the old bridge being a lateral was still a hindrance for larger vessels.
Although the Flemish Association for Industrial Archaeology campaigned to save at least a part of the oldest Vierendeel Bridge in the World Heritage town Brugge, they had no luck and the bridge was cut up for scrap. (search for photos of on FlickR)'
Engineering fans will both be delighted by the elegance and efficiency of the new Scheepsdale Bridge and horrified by the failure to find a way of preserving the old Vierendeel bridge.

Wikipedia:
Bruges (/bruːʒ/, French: [bʁyʒ]; Flemish: Brugge [ˈbrʏɣə] (About this soundlisten); German: Brügge [ˈbʁʏɡə]) is the capital and largest city of the province of West Flanders in the Flemish Region of Belgium, in the northwest of the country.
The area of the whole city amounts to more than 13,840 hectares (138.4 sq km; 53.44 sq miles), including 1,075 hectares off the coast, at Zeebrugge (from Brugge aan zee,[2] meaning Bruges by the Sea).[3] The historic city centre is a prominent World Heritage Site of UNESCO. It is oval in shape and about 430 hectares in size. The city's total population is 117,073 (1 January 2008),[4] of whom around 20,000 live in the city centre. The metropolitan area, including the outer commuter zone, covers an area of 616 km2 (238 sq mi) and has a total of 255,844 inhabitants as of 1 January 2008.[5]
Along with a few other canal-based northern cities, such as Amsterdam, it is sometimes referred to as the Venice of the North. Bruges has a significant economic importance, thanks to its port, and was once one of the world's chief commercial cities.[6][7] Bruges is well known as the seat of the College of Europe, a university institute for European studies.[8]
The place is first mentioned in records as Bruggas, Brvggas, Brvccia in 840–875, then as Bruciam, Bruociam (in 892), Brutgis uico (toward end of the 9th century), in portu Bruggensi (c. 1010), Bruggis (1012), Bricge (1037, in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle), Brugensis (1046), Brycge (1049–1052, again in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle), Brugias (1072), Bruges (1080–1085), Bruggas (c. 1084), Brugis (1089), and Brugge (1116).[9]
The name probably derives from the Old Dutch for bridge: brugga. Also compare Middle Dutch brucge, brugge (or brugghe, brigghe, bregghe, brogghe), and modern Dutch bruggehoofd (bridgehead) and brug (bridge).[10] The form brugghe would be a southern Dutch variant.[11] The Dutch word and the English bridge both derive from Proto-Germanic *brugjō-
Bruges was a location of coastal settlement during prehistory. This Bronze Age and Iron Age settlement is unrelated to medieval city development. In the Bruges area, the first fortifications were built after Julius Caesar's conquest of the Menapii in the first century BC, to protect the coastal area against pirates. The Franks took over the whole region from the Gallo-Romans around the 4th century and administered it as the Pagus Flandrensis. The Viking incursions of the ninth century prompted Count Baldwin I of Flanders to reinforce the Roman fortifications; trade soon resumed with England and Scandinavia. Early medieval habitation starts in the 9th and 10th century on the Burgh terrain, probably with a fortified settlement and church.
Bruges has most of its medieval architecture intact, making it one of the most well-preserved medieval towns in Europe.[33] The historic centre of Bruges has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2000.[34] Many of its medieval buildings are notable, including the Church of Our Lady, whose brick spire reaches 115.6 m (379.27 ft), making it the world's second highest brick tower/building. The sculpture Madonna and Child, which can be seen in the transept, is believed to be the only of Michelangelo's sculptures to have left Italy within his lifetime.
Bruges' most famous landmark is its 13th-century belfry, housing a municipal carillon comprising 47 bells.[35] The city still employs a full-time carillonneur, who gives free concerts on a regular basis.
Other famous buildings in Bruges include:
The Béguinage (Dutch: Begijnhof)
The Basilica of the Holy Blood (Dutch: Heilig-Bloedbasiliek). The relic of the Holy Blood, which was brought to the city after the Second Crusade by Thierry of Alsace, is paraded every year through the streets of the city. More than 1,600 inhabitants take part in this mile-long religious procession, many dressed as medieval knights or crusaders.
The modern Concertgebouw (Concert Building)
The Old St. John's Hospital
The Saint Salvator's Cathedral
The Groeningemuseum, which has an extensive collection of medieval and early modern art, including a notable collection of Flemish Primitives. Various masters, including Hans Memling and Jan van Eyck, lived and worked in Bruges.
The City Hall on the Burg (Bruges) [nl] square
The Provincial Court (Provinciaal Hof)
The preserved old city gateways: the Kruispoort, the Gentpoort, the Smedenpoort and the Ezelpoort. The Dampoort, the Katelijnepoort and the Boeveriepoort are gone.
Rozenhoedkaai, Bruges
De Rozenhoedkaai (Quai of the Rosary) is probably the most photographed spot in Bruges. It's a must see for all visitors. The canals of Brugge, such as the Rosary dock, are the meeting points of artist, painters and photographers.
The Huidenvettersplein (Tanners' Square) and the Fish Market are just arount the corner. Here is one of the departure points for boat trips on the canals. The Belfry and Market Square are only a 3 minutes walk away.
Sint-Salvatorskathedraal Brugge
Saint-Salvator Cathedral is the cathedral of Bruges, Flanders, in present-day Belgium.
The cathedral is dedicated to the Verrezen Zaligmaker and Saint-Donatius of Reims.
A11, België
De 12 kilometer lange nieuwe snelweg A11 in België zorgt voor een beter verbinding tussen de Zeehaven van Brugge en het binnenland. In opdracht van het consortium Via Brugge heeft ZJA Zwarts & Jansma Architecten het architectonisch ontwerp van de nieuwe snelweg A11 verzorgd en de daarbij behorende knooppunten, tunnels, bruggen, ecopassages, rotondes en fietspaden. Bureau Bas Smets is verantwoordelijk voor de landschappelijke inpassing van het project.
In het ontwerp is rekening gehouden met hoe de infrastructuur beleefd wordt, vanaf zowel de weg als vanuit het omringende landschap. De doelstelling daarbij was om een samenhangend ontworpen infrastructuur en landschap te maken; met een leesbaar wegbeeld, een maximale beleving van het landschap en een specifieke, uitdagende architectuur van de kunstwerken.
