The pumping station at the Frans Coppens Bridge serves to pump excess water from the lower surrounding area into the canal.

Beautiful view. Be careful if you cycle over it with a child on the back. The bridge is quite steep and some cyclists have almost tipped over with their child.

It is well worth stopping on top of the bridge. The view from the Stekense Vaart looks like a landscape painting. The bridge is named after honorary citizen Frans Coppens from Klein-Sinaai. As receiver-clerk he made a great contribution in his career.
The canal used to be an important connection between the Dutch Hulst and Ghent.
