| Abstract: |
The article discusses the transformation of a highway median to railway infrastructure. The emphasis is on the retrieving of an existing, unused viaduct, part of an interchange on one of the busiest highways in Belgium. Both substructure and superstructure are modified, and the installation of railway track on the structure is provided. Further, other modifications on structures are shortly discussed. |
