Replacement old railway bridge

With the realisation of this project, we increased the vertical clearance at the railway bridge in Genk. To this end, we replaced the old three-span railway bridge with a new two-span bridge.

The assignment included the following works:

  • Modification of the tracks of L21C including earthworks, track works and cable works
  • Renewal of the railway bridge over the Albert Canal, including demolition of the piers and construction of a new central pillar in the canal
  • Complete demolition of the road bridge on the right bank
  • Conversion of the road bridge on the left bank into a retaining wall
  • Demolition of road embankment and excavation of embankments
  • Construction of two new railway bridges (trough bridge type) on left and right banks
  • Construction of roads and sewers
  • Construction of a new quay wall
  • Demolition of a bunker
  • Renewal of bank and towpath
