Description

The Moerputten Railway Bridge, also known as the Moerputten Bridge, was a railway bridge over the Lange Putten peat lake in what later became the Moerputten nature reserve. He was part of the Langstraat railway. Today it is a footbridge. From the autumn of 1881 to 1887, construction was carried out on the Moerputten railway bridge. It was not until the end of 1890 that trains ran daily over this bridge between 's-Hertogenbosch and Geertruidenberg (- Lage Zwaluwe). During construction, a possible future doubling of the track had been taken into account. The 35 brick pillars are wide enough to accommodate a second iron bridge section. However, the line remained single-track until its closure in 1972.
