Listening to Jubilee Bridge Erosion
The performance of infrastructure under traffic depends as much on the supporting characteristics of the foundation and embankment soils as does the strength and stability of bridges. The Jubilee Bridge is an iron, Art Nouveau structure, that connects Avenue du Jubilee with Avenue Emile Bockstaell. It was built in 1905 following a design by engineer Frédéric Bruneel. The bridge consists of three successive spans. Until 2000, the railway line L28 was underneath, connecting the western ring railway line with the Gare Maritime terminus. Since 2007 the bridge is listed as heritage. In 2021 the owner SNCB and Brussels Region agreed to invest together in its renovation.
