The Oosterweel connection programme in Antwerp is causing significant traffic disruptions on the Antwerp Ring (R1) through a series of infrastructure works and preparatory measures.

Initial disruptions include the full closure of the Deurne on-ramp to the R1 for a 36-hour period in early September, forcing motorists toward Ghent and Brussels to use the Borgerhout interchange. 

Further major shifts are scheduled throughout the autumn. These include the opening of a new underpass in Deurne in mid-September, followed by the opening of new sections of the Bypass—a temporary highway along the Ring—during late September and late November.
