The bridge of Vroenhoven
The first bridge at this location was a concrete arch bridge that was built during the construction of the Albert Canal in 1935. This bridge was blown up in 1944 by the retreating German army. Until 1947 there was a temporary bailey bridge to replace it, after which the bridge was rebuilt in its original form. In 2007 the construction of the new bridge at Vroenhoven started, right next to the then still existing old bridge. On 16 January 2009 at 22h38 the old bridge was blown up with dynamite. The new bridge was put into service in June 2010. The replacement of the bridge made it possible to widen the bottleneck in the canal so that two ships can now pass at the same time. This widening was previously not possible because the pillars of the old bridge were too close together.
The new bridge will also house a museum - the Bridge of Vroenhoven, an open air theatre, a climbing wall and a café-restaurant.
On the 29th of April 2012, the World Peace Flame was inaugurated next to the Bridge of Vroenhoven. It is a 2,5m high monument with an eternal burning flame for peace. It is part of the worldwide project 'World Peace Flame'. There are nine other locations on all continents where this World Peace Flame burns.
Nearby is the geological embankment.
