I was born and raised in Bonheiden, I always thought that was the 
border, you could actually spot the border between Mechelen(Muizen) and 
Bonheiden for years by looking at the quality difference of the road.  I 
only visit it once in a while and now it seems the road has been 
redone.   But it used to be pretty close to the bridge over the 
Boeimeerbeek you mention.

The road in Bonheiden is called the Muizensteenweg, in Muizen that road 
is called Bonheidensteenweg.  By looking at the map alone I think that 
the point on the road should not be merged with the administrative 
boundary like it is now. I noticed someone messed with that area a good 
while back and he lacked some mapping knowledge.

That bridge is the border, atleast by popular knowledge.
