Is parking bodart in Leuven closed for an archaeological investigation?

Part of the Parking Bodart in Leuven is closed today and tomorrow because they’re checking for old stuff underground before they make the area nicer and safer for everyone. It’s best to find another parking spot for now to avoid any issues. The investigation is important to protect any historical things before they start building. The area holds significant historical value. In the 14th century a second ring wall was built around Leuven complete with water gates. One of these gates known as the “Kleine Spuye,” is believed to be located under the Tervuursevest. The archaeological investigation aims to uncover and study any remnants of this ancient infrastructure. By conducting this preliminary investigation the city ensures that the redevelopment plans will respect and incorporate Leuven’s historical heritage ultimately contributing to a more informed and culturally enriched redevelopment project. Given the partial closure of Parking Bodart drivers are advised to seek alternative parking options during this period to avoid inconvenience.

Where Parking Bodart is now there used to be a pond that was part of the city wall. The research will also help the designers who are planning the area’s redevelopment. On Monday 15 and Tuesday 16 July there will be no parking in part of Parking Bodart. If people driving from Koning Boudewijnlaan to Kapucinenvoer or Tervuursepoort they should go via Naamsepoort.
