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 May-June.
The Strabet roundabout is currently being redesigned and will remain fully closed until and including June 14.
The diversions in place since mid-April continue to apply. Please 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 15 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.

The first major milestone in the preparations for Hub 3.0 has been reached: the bus station will move to its new, temporary location on 7 May and will be the place to catch the bus from then on.
Final preparations will take place during the nights of May 4 and 5
The final asphalting and road marking work will take place during the nights of 4 and 5 May. This will affect traffic:
Night of 4–5 May
-
No traffic will be allowed from Ringlaan in the direction of the terminal near the new parking tower. All traffic (including buses) will be rerouted through the area of the new parking tower, P30.
Night of May 5–6
- The intersection at the P31/P16/drop-off area will be closed from 1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.
- The bus station will be inaccessible. All bus traffic will drive past the new parking tower and have a temporary stop there.
- P31: A deviation will be in place over the drop-off.
- The entrance to the security post will not be accessible. The exit may only be used in case of emergency.
The Location
You’ll find the bus station on Level 0, behind the former Building 2, in an area that was still airside some months ago. In the “diamond” (the terminal’s central hall where all the escalators converge), you’ll see a passageway near the arrivals area; from there, a covered walkway leads directly to the station.
The bus station serves all bus lines:
- De Lijn: 8 lines
- STIB: Line 12 (takes you from Brussels Airport to the European Quarter in 30 minutes)
- 3 Intercity operators: Flibco, Flixbus, and Airport Express
- Tourist coaches
- Shuttles from hotels, parking lots, and skeyes
The bus schedule remains unchanged.
When the new intermodal hub opens, bus traffic will be transferred there. This is scheduled for 2029–2030.
Due to works on the Ring Road, your route to the airport may be temporarily affected:
- May 4–16 (10:00 p.m.–3:00 a.m.): Nighttime closures of the exit from the inner Ring Road to the A201 in the direction of Brussels Airport (dates subject to change). A diversion will be in place via Henneaulaan.
- May 8 (9:00 p.m.) – May 10: Reduced lane availability on both the inner and outer Ring Road due to the removal of scaffolding under the bridges. Please allow for extra travel time.
- May 23: The connection between Evere and the outer Ring Road will be closed. A diversion via Henneaulaan will apply.
- On June 6, the roundabout near Delhaize will be resurfaced.
- The roundabout near ESSO is scheduled for June 13.
During these works, the roundabouts will be closed from 4 a.m. to 6 p.m. each day.
Detours will be put in place and announced at a later date.
After the roadworks at the Strabet roundabout, the North-South viaduct will become a one-way road from south to north for both cyclists and motorised traffic, with a weight limit of 16 tonnes.
The TUI roundabout will be converted into an intersection to improve safety and traffic flow in the direction of the airport.
