About the SPI.R0 roadworks
The interchange connecting the Brussels Ring (R0) and Leopold III Avenue (A201) is being completely redeveloped over the coming years. During the works, Brussels Airport and the surrounding region will remain accessible via temporary routes.
Period: 2023–2031
Region: Machelen and Zaventem

The Leonard Junction will be redeveloped because it is outdated and no longer meets current safety standards. It causes traffic congestion in nearby municipalities and acts as a barrier within the Sonian Forest. The redesign aims to improve traffic flow and make the junction safer for all users, including cyclists and public transport. It will also reduce disruption for local residents and create more space for nature and recreation.Â
DurationÂ
2023 - 2031Â
