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 February.
By the end of February, the TUI roundabout will be temporarily converted into an intersection, and the NS viaduct will become one-way. This change is intended to improve traffic flow from the A201 toward the airport.
This arrangement will remain in effect until the drop-off area is relocated behind the Sheraton Hotel in autumn 2026. At that time, the roundabout will be restored to its original layout, while the NS viaduct will continue to operate as a one-way route.
Work is currently underway on the central section of the A201 and will continue until early March, after which similar work will begin on the northern section. Traffic disruptions will be limited, with two lanes remaining open in the direction of Brussels-Evere and three lanes in the direction of Brussels Airport.
During the nights of 23–24 and 24–25 February, we will remove the concrete blocks at Checkpoint Alpha on the A201. At least one lane will remain open at all times, so the impact on traffic should be minimal. Once the works are completed, four lanes will be available instead of two, improving the traffic flow toward the airport.
During the weekend of 13–15 March, the flyover bridges above the Brussels Ring Road (R0) will undergo serious modifications. The work will take place in several phases. A diversion will be in place for each phase, indicated by mobile signage. Please allow extra travel time to and from the airport and consider using public transport.
Specifically, this affects the following routes:
- No traffic will be possible from the inner ring road to the airport.
- The connection between Evere and the airport via the A201 will be interrupted.
At the end of the weekend, two junctions will be controlled by temporary traffic lights.
Since 1 January, the Blue-bike stations at the railway stations of Zaventem, Diegem, and Vilvoorde have joined the Blue-bike network of Brussels Airport, making it even easier to cycle to and from the airport or Brucargo.
Concretely, you can pick up or leave your Blue-bike bike at these locations, without risking a fine.
- Rates: national Blue-bike rates apply from the stations, with a discounted rate from the airport or Brucargo (€1/city bike, €2/e-bike per 30 minutes).
- Ride for free in March: subscribe using the code BLUE-BAC-2026-YEAR to try Blue-bike at no cost around the airport. Download the Blue-bike app, select “Member Year,” and enter the code. Already a member? Go to “My Rate,” select the Blue-bike Member plan, and add the code at the end.
On 3 March, SPI-R0, the contractor group for “Work on the Ring Road”, will host a Ducth information session for companies located near the construction site.
