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 April-May.
The Strabet roundabout will be completely redesigned and closed to traffic for nine weeks:
- From Sunday evening, April 12, through April 19, the roundabout will be completely closed to all traffic.
- From April 20 through June 15, only buses and emergency services will be allowed through.
Throughout the entire period, diversions will be in place to ensure access to the airport and your workplace.
Diversions for cars, trucks, and motorcycles
- From the A201 to Ringlaan: after the flyover, there is a U-turn with traffic lights. Then you can turn right toward Ringlaan past the Esso gas station.
- From Ringlaan to the A201:
- April 13–19: the slip road remains open.
- April 20–June 15: slip road closed; temporary route via Grensstraat to the A201.
- From Zaventem centre to Brussels Airport:
- Drive via Hector Henneaulaan in the direction of R0 and A201.
- From Brussels Airport to Zaventem centre
- Drive via Hector Henneaulaan or Olmenstraat
We recommend using public transport or cycling whenever possible.
Google Maps and Waze should show the most up-to-date traffic conditions. Always follow the diversion signs on site.

Diversions for cyclists and pedestrians
From Zaventem, cyclists and pedestrians will only be affected from April 12–19:
- In the direction of TechZuid/Terminal: via Groenstraat to the bicycle highway.
- In the direction of the Ringlaan: follow Olmenstraat.
- Leaving the airport: do not use the Strabet roundabout; go from the terminal to TechZuid and take the Groenstraat exit toward Zaventem.
From April 20 through June 15, there is a minor detour for cyclists around the Strabet roundabout.

The exit from the inner ring road to the A201 in the direction of Brussels Airport will be closed on several nights in April and May from 10:00 PM to 3:00 AM due to allow for construction works, with traffic rerouted via via Henneaulaan.
Impacted nights for the coming weeks
- April 8-10
