Belgium infrastructure and urban renovation projects

Overview

Belgium is undertaking various infrastructure and urban renovation projects focused on accessibility, safety, and historical preservation.

In Gent, planning is underway to improve wheelchair accessibility at a tram stop near the Gravensteen by 2028, a project linked to the replacement of the Hoofdbrug and the redesign of Sint-Veerleplein. Meanwhile, in Herentals, renovation designs have been released for the Tourist Tower, which has been closed since April of the previous year due to structural stability flaws caused by mold and fungi.

New construction projects are also commencing in Bertem and Turnhout. In Bertem, work on the Tervuursesteenweg (N3) aims to increase visibility for cyclists. In Turnhout, the redevelopment of Warandestraat is scheduled to run through December, intending to create a safer center street with wider sidewalks, increased greenery, and improved cycling facilities under a new circulation plan.
