The Meulestedebrug in Gent has entered its final phase as of 5 AM this morning. The southern half of the new bridge is now open, while the northern half is temporarily closed for finishing work. Both halves are expected to be completed by December 19, 2025.
Current construction status
The construction site for the Meulestedebrug is currently active. The southern half has been opened to traffic, allowing for some connectivity. However, the northern half is closed to facilitate its final touches.
Completion is targeted for December 19, 2025. This timeline is crucial for ensuring a smooth connection between R4-Oost and R4-West.
Impact on local traffic
The bridge’s completion will enhance traffic flow between the R4-Oost and R4-West. This improvement aims to alleviate congestion in the area once both halves are operational.
