The swing bridge of Arquennes

Highlight • Bridge

The Arquennes Swing Bridge is a metal swing bridge over the old Charleroi-Brussels Canal in Arquennes, a borough of Seneffe in the province of Hainaut.

The bridge is actually a double-decker bridge, with a raised fixed section for pedestrians and a movable section at street level for car traffic. The car bridge rotated on its horizontal axis in the middle of the canal so that two passageways were created at an open bridge.

The bridge was classified as a site on November 7, 1978 and classified as a monument on August 4, 1989 by the province of Hainaut.

Since the old canal has been replaced by a wider canal and the Inclined Plane of Ronquières has taken over the function of the many locks on the old canal, the bridge has become a permanent structure and both the pedestrian bridge and the central pontoon in the canal have fallen into disrepair .

RAVeL Line 141

Highlight • Cycleway

From here I was finally able to ride the RAVeL L141 railway cycle path.
There was a construction site in Seneffe, and I couldn't go any further than the canal bridge.
But it's possible from here to Nivelles.
But there are a few bumps in the surface.
