Another delicate point of this project: the passage above the railway. An hour of waiting is necessary, because Infrabel has to cut the power on the tracks and it takes longer than expected. The company that installs the footbridge must then work quickly, in one go, overnight, which requires very good preparation in advance.
The gateway’s budget is 5.4 million euros, financed by Europe. And it is an essential project to give a second life to Ougrée. “With the decline of the steel industry, this district no longer had a motorexplains Déborah Géradon, mayor of Seraing (PS), it had to be given a new destination, with these Central Workshops, which were the heart of the steel industry, and which will become, tomorrow, a mobility hub, with also on the other side of the station, a hub more intended for students with a theater and more than 400 kots in the area of Trasenster.”
It is therefore a whole district that is in full mutation, with the desire to evolve, without forgetting its steel past.
