Traffic is affected at the intersection of Robianostraat, Grensstraat, and Fort Illstraat in Borsbeek, near Deurne. Drivers from Deurne to Borsbeek can pass the construction zone via Frans Beirenslaan (R11). Drivers from Borsbeek to Deurne must follow a detour along the R11 and Herentalsebaan. Public transport to Deurne is also rerouted. De Lijn passengers are asked to check the company’s website for updates.
Temporary changes include 2-way traffic on Posthoevestraat, with a parking ban on one side. Pedestrians can still access homes in the construction zone. Robianostraat towards Deurne will reopen in the week of Monday, December 22, 2025, restoring normal traffic and public transport routes.
