The graceful metal arch bridge, which spanned the Herentals-Bocholt canal in the Mosselgoren, was blown up by the Belgian army in 1940, when the German troops invaded Belgium. Since 1940, the municipality has operated a ferry service for residents. In 1963, a new, albeit temporary, bridge was constructed in the Mosselgoren: the Bailey Bridge that spanned the Albert Canal in Stelen. The bridge in Stelen was replaced by a permanent concrete bridge that had been under construction since 1962.

A Bailey bridge is a bridge that consists of standard segments and as such can be constructed very quickly. The basis of the design is a truss bridge. This type of bridge was primarily designed for use by army engineers and can span a maximum of 60 meters and carry heavy vehicles. This type of bridge is still in use for military and civil applications and is regarded worldwide as a fine example of military engineering.

View of Amoco Industrial Zone Along the Albert Canal

Highlight • Viewpoint

In 1920, the Belgian government decided to realize several canal projects, including a new waterway between Liège and Antwerp. This canal runs through cities such as Genk, Hasselt, Geel and Herentals, and connects the Maas with the Scheldt. The canal was dug by hand between 1930 and 1939. On May 31, 1930, during the celebration of Belgium's 100th anniversary, King Albert I symbolically gave the first sod for the canal that would bear his name.
The location on a waterway and a motorway (E313) makes the location along the Albert Canal interesting from a logistical point of view. In 2010 the concept "Alberthaven" was therefore developed: an inland harbor along the entire length of the canal. Today there are already important industrial areas on both banks of the canal. Industrial zone Amoco Geel is a good example of this.
On March 16, 1967, the chemical factory in Geel was founded under the name Amoco Chemical Belgium NV. In 1998 Amoco came under the wings of petroleum giant BP. Today this plant is an important production center for purified terephthalic acid (PTA) and paraxylene (PX).
