Major work begins on Monday on the Brussels ring road near Anderlecht, Brussels Mobility announces. The work will last until the end of December, causing additional travel time of up to 45 minutes, warns the regional public service.
The bridge which spans Boulevard Sylvain Dupuis in Anderlecht and on which users of the Ring travel must undergo repairs. The deck of the structure has cracks, which is why the maximum speed on the ring has been limited to 50 km/h since July on this section, while passage is reduced to a single lane per direction under the bridge.
Brussels Mobility begins work on the ring itself on Monday which should last until December 20. The work leads to the closure of the inner ring between kilometers 54 and 53. As a result, traffic is diverted to the outer ring, where two lanes are dedicated to each direction of traffic and where speed is limited.
During this period, access to the outer ring via the entrance ramp from Chaussée de Ninove is closed. Users can take the entrance ramp near Avenue d’Itterbeek to get onto the ring. These provisions will have a significant impact on traffic, especially during rush hours, warns Brussels Mobility. The agency estimates the additional travel time at a maximum of 45 minutes.
This work is in addition to that carried out by the Flemish Region at the Leonard crossroads. This is why Brussels Mobility advises motorists to favor alternative means of transport to the car or, at the very least, to avoid the R0 ring. The second phase of the Anderlecht project, namely the repair of the outer ring road towards Mons, will be carried out during the summer of 2025.
