City of Ghent, Verapaz Bridge
The Verapaz Bridge (called the Handelsdok Bridge in earlier plans) is a road bridge that will be built in 2022-2024 over the Handelsdok, and will be part of the city's R40 ring road, in the Belgian city of Ghent.
The future bridge - 2×2 lanes - will connect Muidelaan to Afrikalaan, after which the urban R40 ring road will run somewhat wider along Afrikalaan-Koopvaardijlaan instead of Dok-Noord - Dok-Zuid. The bridge thus also forms a new connection between the northern R40 and the R4 and relieves the Muide area of heavy road traffic. Dok-Noord and Dok-Zuid, where the city ring R40 runs, will subsequently be made traffic-free, and streetcar line 4 UZ Gent-Muide will be extended over the route Muide - Gent-Dampoort station.
The construction of all this is part of the Old Docks, the revitalization project of the old harbor docks into a new residential area. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to choose between several bicycle bridges when crossing the Handelsdok, the Bataviabrug , the Calcutta Bridge , the Matadi Bridge and the planned Verapaz Bridge.
After major problems with previous pile installation, partly due to underground obstructions, our experience, expertise and excellent equipment provided a good solution and allowed the construction of the Verapaz Bridge to proceed properly.
