On April 17, 2025, a significant upgrade to the local road network was completed in Belgium. Over a length of 1.4 kilometers, the route has been entirely redesigned. “Now there is a clear two-way road where through traffic is consolidated on one side,” explained Karel Kriekemans (CD&V), the Alderman for Mobility. This project greatly enhances accessibility and enjoyment for visitors to C-mine and the city center, added Mayor Wim Dries (CD&V).

How Does the New Road Design Impact Traffic Flow in Belgium?
The recent redesign of this 1.4-kilometer stretch significantly optimizes traffic management in the area. By creating a dedicated lane for through traffic, congestion is reduced, allowing smoother transit for both locals and visitors. Key benefits include:
- Enhanced safety for pedestrians and cyclists
- Simplified navigation through busy areas
- Improved access to local businesses and attractions
This development marks an exciting step forward in improving urban mobility in Belgium. As more projects like this are implemented, residents can look forward to enhanced connectivity and better overall experiences in their cities.
