Planning Brussels traffic management improvement

Plans are being worked on intended to improve traffic flow around Belgium’s capital Brussels. The local government for the Flanders Region is considering a number of plans at present. The first would see a 15km tunnel running from Grand-Bigard to Woluwe-Saint-Etinne. The second option is for a second ring road to be construction between Alost, Malines and Louvain, which would leave the current ring road for traffic moving into and out of Brussels.

Plans are being worked on intended to improve traffic flow around Belgium’s capital Brussels. The local government for the Flanders Region is considering a number of plans at present.

A further option to be considered is a tunnel from Sterrebeek to Zaventem Airport. Meanwhile a road maintenance budget of €90 million is being reserved for road maintenance in Belgium’s Walloon region for the next three years.

The budget was allocated at 50% according to the number of km and at 50% according to the number of inhabitants. Seven cities will benefit: Charleroi, Liege, Namur, Tournai, Mons, La Louviere and Seraing.
