Current and planned roadworks
As a national airport located in the heart of Europe, Brussels Airport is the ideal gateway to Brussels, Belgium and the rest of the world. The extensive road network surrounding the airport is a valuable asset, but it requires regular maintenance and occasional roadworks. Here, you will find a summary of ongoing and upcoming roadworks near Brussels Airport.
Keeping our roads in good condition requires continuous works, particularly on the Brussels Ring Road R0.
The demolition work of the bridge will take place from Friday 27 September (9 p.m.) to Sunday 29 September (morning).
Impact
During this weekend, the announced diversion via exit BuRi > A201 Brussels and exit A201 Brussels > R0 BuRi will apply (see diversion plans below). Consequently, traffic coming from Zaventem towards Evere will be diverted along the Strabet traffic roundabout.
During this first phase, the airport will remain accessible at all times. We anticipate a low impact on traffic and mobility.
Region
Ring 0 East
The Vilvoorde Viaduct is one of the busiest traffic junctions in the country, with more than 150,000 vehicles passing over it every day. After 50 years, the viaduct is in need of thorough renovation.
Impact
Between August 2023 and the end of 2025, the works will mainly concern the inner ring road. To carry out the work, the speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h and the traffic lanes will be narrowed. Traffic coming from Ghent, Bruges and the north/north-west of Brussels to the airport may be disrupted.
Location
Vilvoorde, on the northern edge of Brussels
