Roadworks around the airport
The airport is undergoing major development, but remains easily accessible. Below is an overview of the works in and around the airport for August-September.
Over the weekend of 7–10 August, from 9:00 p.m. on Friday 7 August until 5:00 a.m. on Monday 10 August, the old bridges spanning the R0 and connecting Evere to the airport will be demolished. As a result, only two lanes, instead of three, will be available in both directions on the Brussels Ring Road.
This may cause traffic congestion and delays on the R0, so allow for extra travel time if you are travelling to the airport during this period.
From 4 to 31 August, Brussels Airport and the Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer (the Roads and Traffic Agency) will carry out resurfacing works in the tunnel located beneath runway 07R/25L on Tervuursesteenweg in Steenokkerzeel.
During this period, both lanes will be fully closed and traffic will be diverted via the E40.
From 13 August, taxis on level 2 will, after picking up passengers, turn around and exit via the same route they entered.
In the days before the opening of the turning loop, the area will be thoroughly cleaned and road markings will be renewed. This adjustment is part of the preparations for the works relative to Hub 3.0.
The passenger pick-up area remains unchanged. You may notice slightly more taxi traffic near the TUI junction.
From 8:00 p.m. on 6 August 2026, asphalt works will take place in the area near TUI and guard post 40. To prepare for these works, the barriers and concrete New Jersey barriers located behind Car Park 6 will be temporarily removed. The works will include milling the existing surface and laying new asphalt in the designated area.
As a result, guard post 40 will be closed, and guard post 42 will serve as the alternative access point. It is still possible to exit at Wachtpost 40.
On 7 August, thermoplastic surfacing and new road markings will be applied near the pedestrian crossing at the guard post. Once the works have been completed, all barriers will be put back in place to minimise disruption to parking operations.
From 10 August, sewerage works will be carried out near car park P15. As a result, the access route to the motorbike parking area will be temporarily modified. The parking area will, however, remain accessible throughout the works. Please follow the on-site signage to reach the parking area safely.
From 10 August to 26 September, the Roads and Traffic Agency will be carrying out maintenance work on the E19 link road from Antwerp to the Brussels inner ring road (R0) towards Brussels Airport.
One lane will remain open at all times, but significant traffic disruption is expected. Allow for extra travel time or consider using public transport, if you’re commuting from Antwerp to the airport.
From 4 to 21 August, preparatory works for the future Airport Tram project will take place along Ringlaan, between B.house and Building 8. These works will prepare the area for the installation of utility networks later this autumn. Activities will include relocating fencing, adjusting infrastructure elements and temporarily replacing public lighting. The works will be carried out during the daytime.
- Near B.house, traffic will be managed by temporary traffic lights with alternating flow.
- Between B.house and Building 8, a mobile work zone will also require alternating traffic.
- Access to all buildings and car parks will remain available throughout the works.
From 16 to 22 September, we will be collecting as many green kilometres as possible under the motto “Your trip, your way.” Whether you walk, cycle, carpool or take public transport, every kilometre helps us virtually travel around the world together. Keep an eye out for our Citizen Dialogue Kits, interactive screens that will appear across the airport site in August, where you can share how you commute and win prizes during Mobility Week. We will also support you with a range of activities, including mobility coaching and a free bike repair workshop.
