Anderlecht (The Brussels Morning Newspaper): Repairs on the RO ring road in Anderlecht began on October 7 due to cracks in the bridge over Sylvain Dupuislaan. Phase one lasts until December 20, causing detours and 30-45 minute delays. The next phase will start in 2025.
Urgent repairs are happening on the ring road (R0) in Anderlecht because cracks were found in the motorway bridge over Sylvain Dupuislaan. These cracks raised safety concerns, so they need to be fixed quickly to prevent more damage and keep everyone safe. The bridge is important for traffic, so fixing it is necessary to avoid accidents or bigger problems.
What traffic challenges can people expect from RO repairs in Anderlecht?
The repair work on the ring road (R0) in Anderlecht will likely cause some traffic problems, like detours and temporary road closures. How long the repairs take will depend on how bad the damage is and how complicated the fixes are. Safety will be a priority to keep workers and drivers safe during the repairs.
In the first phase of the repair work on the Brussels ring road (R0) in Anderlecht, which will last until December 20, the focus will be on fixing the bridge on the inner ring. Traffic will still be able to move in both directions, but it will be rerouted to the outer ring, where there will be two narrower lanes for vehicles. This arrangement allows traffic to continue flowing during the repairs, although the reduced lane width may slow things down a bit. It has been said that to keep everyone safe, there is a speed limit of 50 kilometers per hour in the construction area. Drivers should be ready for delays, especially during rush hour, which can take 30 to 45 minutes. These delays happen because of the narrower lanes and slower speeds needed for the repairs, while still allowing cars to get through on this important part of the ring road.
People in Dilbeek who want to reach the outer ring road from Ninoofsesteenweg (N8) can’t go directly. They need to take a detour using the road next to the ring road and then take the Dupuislaan exit and entrance. The next phase of the repairs, which will fix the bridge on the outer ring, is planned for 2025.
