Recordist's notes

This viaduct is one of the more important road equipment in all Belgium. It's an enormous metallic viaduct on an highway crossing the Mass / Meuse river. This recording is made just below the expansion joint. Trucks make enormous impact, absorbed by special rubber piles. Feeling of this place is extremely violent.
