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 June-July.

The Delhaize roundabout will be resurfaced on 6 June, followed by the Esso roundabout on 13 June. During these works, the affected roundabouts will be closed from 4:00 am to 6:00 pm each day.

Delhaize Roundabout – 6 June

  • Sabena Engineering, DHL, TCR, Safran, Lagardère and HiServ will remain accessible via the entrance opposite the BMW Tanghe garage.
  • All other companies will remain accessible via a temporary passage at the Delhaize roundabout. Exit will be possible via the bus gate near building 830 on Haachtsesteenweg.
  • Impact on De Lijn bus services – the following arrangements will apply throughout the day:
    • Bus stops Cargo Discount P2, Cargo Noord and Stationslaan will not be served.
    • Cargo Discount P1: normal service to the terminal; from the terminal, passengers must get off at Cargo 706
    • Alternative stops will be available at Cargo 758, Cargo 741, Koning Albertlaan and Geerensstraat.

Esso Roundabout – 13 June

  • The cargo zone will remain accessible via the Delhaize roundabout, where a temporary passage will be provided. Exit from the zone will be possible via a cut-through at the Esso roundabout.
  • The Delhaize car park will remain accessible.
  • Impact on De Lijn bus services – the following arrangements will apply throughout the day:
    • Bus stops Cargo 758, Cargo 741 and Cargo 739 will not be served.
    • The bus stop at Discount Parking 1 will be relocated by 100 metres and clearly signposted.

From mid-June, the North–South Viaduct will operate as a one-way road, running south to north (from the TUI roundabout towards the drop-off area). From the end of June, the TUI roundabout will be redesigned as a standard junction.

These changes are intended to guarantee smooth traffic flow.

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.

A preliminary survey will take place on 4 and 5 June. During this period, one lane will be closed in the direction of Steenokkerzeel, and a diversion will be implemented via the E40. Traffic towards Nossegem will remain possible. Cyclists and pedestrians will still be able to use the tunnel in both directions.

During the works scheduled for August, the tunnel will be fully closed and all traffic will be diverted via the E40.

Work on the Strabet roundabout is nearing completion. The roundabout will remain fully closed until 14 June, and the diversion routes introduced mid-April will remain in place. Please continue to follow the on-site diversion signage at all times.

Diversions for cars, trucks and motorcycles

From the A201 to Ringlaan:

  • After the A201 flyover, there is a turning loop with traffic lights allowing you to turn off the A201 onto Ringlaan.
  • Further on, past the Esso petrol station, a by-pass allows you to turn right in the direction of Ringlaan.

From Ringlaan to the A201:

From 20 April to 14 June: The ramp is closed. Grensstraat will be connected to the A201 via a temporary road.

From Zaventem centre to Brussels Airport:

  • Take Hector Henneaulaan towards the R0 and A201.

From Brussels Airport to Zaventem centre: 

  • Take Hector Henneaulaan or Olmenstraat

Whenever possible, we recommend using public transport or cycling to reach the airport

Need to get to the terminal? With your airport badge, you can also take the South Ringlaan: enter at skeyes and exit at car park 41 - TUI. It’s quick and convenient!

Google Maps and Waze should show the most up-to-date traffic conditions. Always follow the diversion signs on site.

To ensure safe and smooth access from P31, the drop-off area, and the new car rental zone to the terminal during the Hub 3.0 works, a covered walkway will be installed. It will be visible from mid-June and will connect to the new Diamant entrance.

The walkway is scheduled to open in August and will continue to evolve in line with the progress of the Hub 3.0 construction works.

During June, there will be an additional bicycle park for non-electric bicycles on the arrivals level (level 2), opposite Front Park 2. Easily accessible for those entering the airport via Tech Zuid. You’ll need to walk the final stretch to the curb with your bicycle in hand. The park is accessible to all airport badge holders.

Electric bike? You can still park these in the existing car park, P15S. The cycle path leading there remains available, but will be temporarily rerouted from mid-June due to the construction of a new covered walkway (see 6). Access remains safe and guaranteed until at least September. Further updates will follow.

The P23 motorbike park area located under the Passport building has been open for some time now - have you spotted it yet? It can accommodate at least 36 motorbikes and is exclusively accessible to staff holding an airport badge.

How to get there: Enter via the access to car park P20 under the Passport building. The motorbike parking area is located on the left-hand side.

3 June marks World Bicycle Day, the perfect opportunity to collectively encourage a shift towards more sustainable mobility. We invite you to motivate your colleagues to cycle to work on this day instead of driving.

Whether for your commute or a short trip during the lunch break, every journey counts towards a healthier, more sustainable and more relaxed working day.
