Starting October 7, 2024, Bruxelles Mobilité will initiate significant roadwork on the Brussels ring road at Anderlecht, which is expected to last until December 20, 2024.

Motorists are advised to consider alternative transportation methods or avoid the R0 ring road altogether due to anticipated traffic disruptions and congestion.

During peak hours, drivers may experience delays of up to 45 minutes as a result of the construction.

Repairs are also underway on a bridge over Boulevard Sylvain Dupuis, which has been restricted to one lane in each direction since July due to visible cracks.

The repair work on the bridge is set to continue until the end of December 2024, with a speed limit of 50 km/h enforced in the area.

The inner ring road will be closed between kilometers 54 and 53, redirecting traffic to the outer ring where two lanes will remain open in both directions.

Access to the outer ring via the Ninove road entrance will be closed during this construction period, but entry from Avenue d'Itterbeek will remain open.

These roadworks coincide with ongoing construction at the Léonard junction led by the Flemish Region, further complicating traffic conditions.

Traffic jams are expected, particularly for drivers heading towards Groot-Bijgaarden and Halle, with delays of 30 minutes or more during rush hour.

Looking ahead, a second phase of construction on the outer ring towards Mons is scheduled for summer 2025.

Brussels Mobility has commenced repair works on the bridge located on the greater Brussels orbital ring road in Anderlecht.

The ongoing roadworks are part of a broader effort to improve infrastructure in the region, although they will cause significant disruptions in the meantime.
