Le pont levant  de Travecy (appelé pont-levis sur un panneau proche de cet ouvrage) a été refait récemment (2001). Il succède à un pont tournant qui remplaçait lui même un autre pont levant.
Il permet de franchir le canal de la Sambre à l'Oise.
Ce canal d'une longueur de 71 kilomètres  fut ouvert en 1839 pour acheminer le charbon belge des mines de la région de Charleroi vers Paris.
