20.006 | Bridge Parkbrug Linkeroever

At the Antwerp-West interchange, the Park Bridge provides a safe crossing for people and animals. It connects the Burchtse Weel and the future Katwilgbos and is part of the Oosterweel connection. The Ring Cycle Path will be drawn across the motorway (E17) via this bridge to Charles De Costerlaan and the future Scheldt Tunnel. Most of the bridge is planned as an ecological crossing.
The Park Bridge spans the motorway in a single grand arch, thus creating an unobstructed view from a drivers perspective. The concrete arch shell reaches 10,5 m at the highest point above the motorway and spans 66 metres. Arch and side walls form an integral bridge structure. The depth of the ground on top of the shell varies from 0,5 m to 3,5 m, thus allowing for substantial trees to create a truly parklike experience.
