The Kuilenburg railway bridge is a railway bridge over the river Lek near Culemborg. The bridge, built in 1982, received an honorable mention at the National Steel Award in 1983.
The first bridge on this site was built between 1863 and 1868, during the construction of the Utrecht-Boxtel railway line, which is also known as State Line H. On November 1, 1868, the Utrecht-Kuilenburg section was put into service. This railway line was built by law at the expense of the State. A decision to this effect was made in 1860. The construction of the railway line and the design of the bridge was in the hands of engineer Gerrit van Diesen. This first bridge was a real industrial structure: in order not to hinder shipping, there were no pillars in the river, which is why the main span was given a length of 154 meters, when it opened in 1868 this was the railway bridge with the longest span in the world.
