Brussels Ring Closure: Demolition of Vlasmarktdreef Bridge for Bois de Hal Ecoduct Construction

2023-06-24 05:47:18

The Brussels ring will be closed to traffic at Halle in the night from Saturday to Sunday, the Flemish Roads and Traffic Agency announced on Friday. A bridge spanning this axis must be demolished.

Concretely, the R0 will be closed between the Hall interchange and the Ittre interchange in both directions, from 9 p.m. on Saturday until 9 a.m. the next day. Motorists are advised to avoid the western ring as much as possible and the area around the A8/E429 linking Tournai to Halle and to favor, if possible, the eastern ring, towards Waterloo and Tervuren. The motorway to Tournai will however be accessible for traffic coming from Brussels.

The Wauthier-Braine interchange (BIEN: Wauthier-Braine) will also be almost completely closed, with the exception of the access ramp to the ring (outside) towards Ittre. During the night closure, local traffic will be carried out in both directions via the N28.

The Vlasmarktdreef bridge will be demolished to make way for the Bois de Hal ecoduct, which the R0 is currently cutting into two parts. This new infrastructure, financed by Flanders, should make it possible to increase the habitat of the animals in this nature reserve and to facilitate their crossing.

The bridge will be a combination of a large unpaved green area (65 meters wide) for the animals and a cycle and footpath next to it (5 meters wide), which will thus allow cyclists and walkers to cross the ring safely.
