Belgian cycling and pedestrian infrastructure upgrades

Overview

Infrastructure projects are being implemented across various Belgian locations to enhance cycling and pedestrian safety.

In Willebroek, road safety upgrades are underway at the intersection of Parklaan and Moerlandstraat. The project, scheduled to run through November 20, involves removing turning lanes to shorten pedestrian crossing distances, creating safer bicycle paths, and renewing sidewalks. Additionally, new traffic lights have been installed at the Boomsesteenweg and Hoeikensstraat intersection to protect cyclists, alongside planned speed limit adjustments and the construction of a detached bicycle path along the N177.

In Wilsele, part of the F25 cycle highway project connecting Leuven and Aarschot, a new 1,000-ton bicycle and pedestrian tunnel is being installed under railway tracks. The installation, which required a temporary interruption of train traffic, replaces an older structure with a wider and safer tunnel as part of the Wilsele-Putkapel master plan to improve sustainable mobility.
