The Culemborg railway bridge (Dutch: Kuilenburgse spoorbrug) is a tied-arch bridge in the Netherlands over the Lek, on the Utrecht–Boxtel railway.[1][2]
It held two records at the beginning: being the first important truss bridge with semi-parabolic arch and the railway-only one with the longest span in the world until 1878.[2]
