Current and planned roadworks

Located in the heart of Europe, Brussels Airport is the perfect gateway to Brussels, Belgium, and beyond. While the extensive road network around the airport is a major advantage, it also requires regular maintenance and occasional roadworks. Below, you'll find an overview of current and upcoming roadworks near Brussels Airport.

As part of ongoing inspection and maintenance works on the North-South Viaduct at Brussels Airport, roadworks are scheduled between May and June 2025. Temporary traffic disruptions may occur, but access to the Drop-off zone and parkings P1, P2, and P3 will remain unchanged. We recommend allowing extra travel time.

The interchange between the R0 and A201 is being redesigned into a compact 'Single Point Interchange.' The current flyovers are being replaced with a new bridge over the ring road, featuring a single intersection to manage traffic flows.

In the first phase, the northern section of the A201 flyover was demolished. In the second phase, the southern section will also be removed.

Brussels Airport remains easily accessible, but travelers driving to the airport should account for possible delays due to detours and slower traffic.

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.
