Göhltal Viaduct (Moresnet Viaduct)
Highlight • Bridge
The viaduct consists of 22 steel double-track bridge sections, supported by 2 abutments, 5 support pillars and 16 ordinary pillars made of stamped concrete (a new technique at the time). Each of the bridge sections is 48 metres long and weighs approximately 260 tonnes.
The bridge is an important link in international freight traffic. It connects the German Aachen with the port of Antwerp and is located near the Montzen marshalling yard. The Moresnet bridge is therefore important for Belgium for its trade relations with Germany and with countries in Eastern Europe. Every day, 80 to 90 freight trains pass here in both directions.
