The Four Lifts on the Canal du Centre and their Environs, La Louvière and Le Roeulx (Hainaut) are a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The four hydraulic boat-lifts together with the canal itself and its associated structures, constitute a remarkably well-preserved and complete example of a late-19th-century industrial landscape. Located over a distance of 7 km, each one covering a change in level of 15 to 16 meters. They are the only ones in the world which still exist in their original working condition.

Will connect with the RAVel on the Charleroi-Brussels canal, part of the regional cycle route network W3. Located in a Urban and suburban area. Work will include rehabilitation of the engineering structures (45) including the Estrée viaduct (brick bridge with 16 arches) and construction of the RAVeL- greenway (11.2km): asphalting over a width of 3m and a lateral bridleway. Intervention by the Walloon Region, the municipalities concerned and the Province of Walloon Brabant. This greenway is very important for soft modes of mobility as it links Braine l’Alleud station to the Hain area and further on to Clabecq and Tubize, avoiding the Tubize road which is very busy with traffic. Work on the RAVeL is in progress. Note: The map show an aapproximate itinerary, which will be detailed after the completion of the greenway.
