The Moerputtenbrug, also called Moerputtenspoorbrug, was a railway bridge over the peat bogs of Lange Putten in the later nature reserve Moerputten. He was part of the Langstraat Railway. Today it is a pedestrian bridge that is part of the Half-Footpath.
The Moerputtenspoor bridge was built from the autumn of 1881 to 1887. Only at the end of 1890 there were daily trains between 's-Hertogenbosch and Geertruidenberg (- Lage Zwaluwe) over this bridge. During construction, a possible future track doubling had been taken into account. The 35 brick pillars are wide enough for a second iron bridge section. The line, however, remained single-track until the closure in 1972.
