Mobility
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 September-October.
Brussels Airport and the Agency for Roads and Traffic are currently renovating the pavement of the tunnel under runway 07R/25L on Tervuursesteenweg in Steenokkerzeel. During the works, it became apparent that additional concrete repairs were necessary. ;
As a result, the tunnel will remain fully closed until mid-September. Until then, traffic will continue to be diverted via the E40.
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. If you’re commuting from Antwerp to the airport, allow for extra journey time or take the public transport.
Preparatory works for the future Airport Tram along Ringlaan, between B.house and Building 8, has been completed.
The actual utility works for the airport tram will begin on 14 September. These works will continue until mid-October and will once again result in alternating traffic on Ringlaan, from B.house to Building 8.
The Mobility Week campaign was launched this week. Under the slogan “Your trip, your way”, we’re challenging everyone to collect as many green kilometres as possible: on foot, by bike, by carpooling or by public transport.
Discover all the events and activities on the Brussels Airport Community website.
Tip: Use the interactive screens to let us know how you travel to work, or complete the survey online.
From Wednesday 16 September, you can also use these screens to enter your green kilometres. The more often you travel to work sustainably during Mobility Week (16–22 September), the better your chances of winning great prizes.
Start by finding your sustainable route to work using Brussels Airport’s journey planner. Together we’ll collect enough ‘green kilometres’ for a trip round the world (or perhaps even two 😊).
Are you working on Sunday 20 September? If so, please bear in mind that many towns and cities are organising Car-Free Sundays and you won’t be able to get through by car. Check your alternatives in good time.
A new cycle path is under construction on Watertorenlaan at BRUcargo.
The cycle path will be ready for use by mid-October.
The new cycle path also provides easy access on foot to the BRUcargo West bus stop. This will make the site safer and even more readily accessible for cyclists.
On 7 September, the first Deutsche Bahn high-speed train from Cologne will arrive at Brussels Airport station. This means that, after more than ten years, the airport is once again directly connected to the international high-speed network.
This new connection strengthens our international connectivity and our role as an intermodal hub.
From Monday 31 August to Friday 18 September, the street next to Building 706 will be completely closed due to renovation works on Building 705.
Bus stop 706 will temporarily be relocated to Parking 71.
Through traffic will be diverted around the BCC site and Building 706. The street between DSV and Nippon will remain accessible for local traffic, but will be fully closed further along and cannot be used to access Building 706.
Please take this temporary traffic change into account and allow for additional travel time.
