The recent decision to transform the Leopold III-laan into a safer, cyclist-friendly route is set for completion by April 14, 2025. This initiative will replace the existing coronafietspad with a dedicated ventweg, enhancing safety and accessibility for all road users.
- Twee rijstroken definitief geschrapt voor fietspad
- Ventweg en brede voetpaden worden aangelegd
- Fietsstraat met beperkingen voor gemotoriseerd verkeer
- Project verbetert verkeersveiligheid langs drukke as
- Totale kostprijs van werken bijna 14 miljoen euro
- Aannemer Viabuild voltooit project in voorjaar 2027
How Will the Changes on Leopold III-laan Impact Cyclists and Drivers?
The transformation of the Leopold III-laan includes several key features designed to enhance safety and mobility:
- A dedicated ventweg with wide footpaths
- A bicycle street where motor vehicles must yield to cyclists
- Parking spaces and green buffers along the main road
These changes are part of a broader effort by Brussels Mobiliteit and Beliris to ensure safer transit options in busy areas. With an estimated cost of nearly €14 million, this project not only prioritizes cyclists but also discourages cut-through traffic in residential neighborhoods.
This initiative marks a significant step towards sustainable urban transport. As construction progresses through 2027, residents can look forward to safer streets that accommodate both cyclists and drivers more effectively. Stay tuned for further updates on this important development!
