All fourteen stay cables connected to the cable-stayed bridge in Heverlee

All fourteen stay cables of the new cable-stayed bridge over the E40 in Heverlee are now connected. After positioning the 36-metre-high pylon in its final location and attaching the first four cables, we have now connected the remaining ten to the bridge deck. 

Technical precision down to the smallest detail 

To position the pylon safely, we carefully calculated every step. We lifted the structure, moved it to the central reservation of the E40 and used hydraulic jacks to position it precisely. Connecting the stay cables also required technical expertise and meticulous execution.

With the final cables now in place, we have completed an important phase in the construction of the cable-stayed bridge.
