ConstruGomes participated in the extension of the railway bridge in the center of Antwerp, Belgium. This project aimed to improve the mobility in one of the busiest lines in Belgium.

Our teams were responsible for the construction of the new reinforced concrete structure, from the foundations to the bridge’s deck, respecting the original geometry consisting of arched spans.

The arches are approximately 15.80 meters wide and 5 meters high at the highest point. The depth is 10.5 meters. The new viaduct was built on site using a total of 380 tons of steel and about 2,600 m3 of concrete.
