The 5km Zeeland Bridge, which dates to 1965, connects two off-shore islands in the Scheldt Estuary to the mainland in the Province of Zeeland.

BAM and SPIE will work with the Province of Zeeland to resurface the bridge and renovate the bascule. This maintenance will extend the bridge’s life by 30 years.
