As the final connection in the F41 route, this bike bridge not only enhances safety but also encourages more sustainable travel options. Let’s explore why this development matters for Belgian cyclists and urban mobility.
Why is this bike bridge such a game-changer for Antwerp and its surroundings? It addresses key challenges faced by cyclists and urban planners alike:
