There will be a separation of the through and local traffic into express and local lanes. This involves two separate roads, like with the Eindhoven Ring Road (Randweg). As a result, many of the weaving manoeuvres that today result in incidents and accidents will disappear. You only switch between the express and local ring roads in the transition zones (e.g. Vilvoorde viaduct). In this article you can see how the traffic will flow on the renovated Brussels Ring Road.

There will be investment in restructuring 20 km of road infrastructure, but also investment in 40 km of brand-new cycling infrastructure and 60 km of new tram tracks from the Brabantnet. While the renovation of the Ring Road is necessary, it will not solve all mobility problems. A holistic approach with attention for public transport, road and cycling infrastructure and mobility management is required.

Yes. In 2013, the Government of Flanders decided to completely redevelop the Brussels Ring Road. It took this decision on the basis of research findings, such as an environmental impact study and a social cost-benefit analysis.

The changes are happening in the northern section of the Brussels Ring Road between the E40 (direction Ghent) and the E40 (direction Leuven). That section will be split into three zones: the Zaventem zone (from the junction with the E40, direction Leuven, up to and including the junction with the E19 to Antwerp), the Vilvoorde zone (from the Vilvoorde viaduct to the junction of the A12 in Strombeek-Bever) and the Wemmel zone (from the junction of the A12 in Strombeek-Bever to the junction of the E40 in Groot-Bijgaarden).

The Brussels Ring Road, also known as the R0, has not changed since it was built (between forty and fifty-six years ago). The many slip roads on and off (on average every 500m!) lead to dangerous weaving manoeuvres, traffic jams and accidents. In 2014 alone, almost 1100 incidents leading to disruption took place on the Brussels Ring Road. With the redevelopment, the road will be completely renewed and the handling of the traffic will be improved.
