113 X Nemetschek Structural User Contest 2013 - Category 2: Civil Structures 2 Short description │“Scheepsdalebrug” Movable Road Bridge The movable road bridge at Brugge is built to cross over the Brugge-Oostende channel. The new bridge replaces an old movable metallic bridge of the “Vierendeel” type. The bridge has the width of 19 m and is a rolling bascule bridge with a movable pivot point. The pivot point has a radius that rolls over the concrete understructure. The bridge is powered by two jacks and the rolling movement of the bridge occurs according to the longitudinal axis of the bridge. The weight of the bridge (725 tonnes) is balanced by ballast that is positioned in two 15 m-high arms of the bridge. The span of the bridge is 40 m and the bridge has three traffic lanes with two separate lanes for pedestrians and cyclists. Project information Owner Waterwegen en Zeekanaal afd.
