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 July-August.

From 8 July, a new phase starts at the junction of the Brussels Ring (R0) and the A201. Traffic from Evere towards Brussels Airport will then use the new bridges. This phase change also includes adjustments to the traffic lights:

On the Evere side, two sets of lights manage the different traffic flows
On the Brussels Airport side, traffic using the new bridge will also pass traffic lights

In addition, traffic from the A201 Evere towards the outer ring will use a new access ramp. Vehicles will then exit to the right and pass under the new bridge to join the outer ring.

Below please find the map of the new situation

Please also expect additional traffic disruption at the following times:

Friday 10 July, 6 pm – Saturday 11 July, 1 pm: the temporary bridges between Evere and the outer ring will be removed. Traffic heading from the outer ring to Evere will be diverted via Strabet, with heavier traffic expected.
Friday 7 August, 9 pm – Monday 10 August, 5 am: the old bridges over the R0 from Evere to the airport will be demolished. On the Brussels Ring, only 2 lanes will be available in each direction instead of 3. Allow extra travel time if you travel to the airport on these days.

In 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.

A new Blue-bike station is now available near the Melsbroek Stationslaan bus stop in the cargo zone. From there, you can reach the Terminal by e-bike in 15 minutes.

With Blue-bike shared bikes, you can easily travel between the 9 Blue-bike stations at the airport or to nearby train stations. This bike-sharing project is a Stargate pilot project, allowing Brussels Airport to collect as much data as possible on the use and potential of shared bikes at the airport.

From 5 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.

We aim to support you as much as possible in encouraging your employees to use sustainable mobility options during Mobility Week. Let us know how we can help and/or which initiatives you are planning, via this form.

After six months of intensive works, we briefly look back at several key achievements that contribute to smoother and safer mobility on and around the airport:

Strabet roundabout: back in use since mid-June as a central traffic hub. Cycling infrastructure will be further completed by the end of this year.
North–South fly-over: converted to one-way traffic. This may still require some adjustment in driving behaviour. Check the map:

TUI roundabout has been converted into a traditional intersection.

Cargo roundabouts have been successfully redeveloped.

The new bus station is in use, with further optimisations to follow to ensure smooth and safe traffic flows. Until October, you can also enjoy a good Italian coffee or snack there (7.00 am – 3.00 pm).
