Summary

[edit]
Description

Rond 1920 werd deze hefbrug op de Moervaart gebouwd voor de spoorlijn 77A tussen Lokeren en Moerbeke. De spoorlijn werd in 1971 buiten dienst gesteld. Vlakbij de brug stonden reservoirs ter bevoorrading van de stoomlocomotieven, waardoor de brug 'Vapeurbrug' werd genoemd. Het rijdek werd als een platform tussen vier ijzeren heftorens opgehaald. Dit gebeurde handmatig met een lier en door het gebruik van tegengewichten.

Around 1920, this lifting bridge was built on the Moervaart for railroad 77A between Lokeren and Moerbeke. The railway was used until 1971. Near the bridge were reservoirs to supply the steam locomotives with water, that's why people called it "Vapeurbrug" (vapeur = steam).

The deck was raised as a platform between the four iron lifting portals. This was done by hand with a winch and by the use of counterweights.
