The riverbanks of the Leie in Kortrijk’s town centre are the subject of major changes. The water course needed to be adapted to the new European norms for inland waterway traffic and the Leie has therefore been straightened and widened.
The water course needed to be adapted to the new European norms for inland waterway traffic and the Leie has therefore been straightened and widened. For this, some of the public space was reallocated with the result of damaged fragments of land on both banks of the river. Kortrijk chose to turn this harsh and radical intervention into a positive and uniting element. The city seized the opportunity to reconstruct the public space, the bridges and wharves along with the infrastructure works.
The distinctive bridges help you get around in the city but are worth visiting on their own as well. Every bridge has a unique design, but all of them are suspended seven meters above the water so that ships can easily pass underneath them.
