Moerputtenbrug

The Moerputtenbrug, also called Moerputtenspoorbrug, was a railway bridge in North Brabant over the peat lake Lange Putten in the later nature reserve Moerputten. It was part of the Langstraat railway. The bridge has been a pedestrian bridge since the turn of the century that is part of the Half Soles Path.

The Moerputtenspoorbrug was built from the autumn of 1881 to 1887. 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 doubling of the track had been taken into account. The 35 brick pillars are wide enough for a second iron bridge section. However, the line remained single track until its closure in 1972.
