🌉 Buda Bridge

The Buda Bridge is a vertical-lift movable bridge that crosses the Brussels–Scheldt Maritime Canal in Brussels, Belgium. It was inaugurated in 1955 and replaced a 1934 bridge destroyed during World War II. The structure stands 43 metres (141 ft) tall and allows the roadway to be raised to a height of 33 metres (108 ft) in order to facilitate the passage of vessels navigating the canal.
