R0 oost Brussel Werken aan de ring kaart

The Ring around Brussels is being given a new lease of life, with full commitment to the mobility of the future and to improving the quality of life for people and animals around the Ring Road. In September 2019, De Werkvennootschap published a vision statement ‘Program Work on the Ring Road‘. This was the start of a great story.

The Work on the Ring Road program

The Work on the Ring Road program takes a multimodal approach to improving infrastructure for all road users. This means that the focus is on road traffic and public transport, as well as pedestrians and cyclists. Hoppin points, which combine different modes of transport in one physical location, are also being realized in different locations. There is also a commitment to improving the region’s quality of life by investing in the built spaces where we live, work and relax. The green-blue network is to be simultaneously restored and, where possible, improved.

R0 East

The Ring Road R0 is divided into 3 project areas: R0 North, R0 East and R0 South-West. Ring East is the part of the Ring Road that includes four major traffic junctions along the R0 and E411: Vierarmen, Leonard, Groenendaal and Jezus-Eik. These 4 traffic junctions are located in the middle or at the edge of the Sonian Forest. A regional spatial implementation plan (RSIP) is required for the redesign of the junctions. The preparation of this plan requires a long-term process, which is currently underway. In addition to these complex projects, there are a few projects within the R0 East project area that can be realized more quickly, which are so-called quick wins. Some of these are currently underway and SBE is proudly working on them

Zoniën Mobiel, a joint venture

The joint venture Zoniën Mobiel (SBE – Omgeving – Ney & Partners – D+A – Mint – Hesselteer) is responsible for the complete study of all engineering structures and associated road designs. The partnership is currently hard at work on the following subprojects:

  • R0 oost Brussel Werken aan de ring maatschap Zoniën Mobiel SBE Omgeving Ney & Partners D+A Mint Hesselteer engineering #teamsbe #expertsatplay Welriekendedreef

    Welriekendedreef bicycle ramp

    The construction of the Welriekendedreef bicycle ramp is part of the ambition to cycle quickly, easily and above all safely along and across the Ring. The existing pedestrian tunnel under the Ring, at the end of Welriekendedreef, will therefore be rebuilt into a gentle bicycle ramp.

    Bicycle highway F205

    The construction of the bicycle highway F205 along the Terhulpsesteenweg will provide a direct connection between Terhulpen / Hoeilaart and Brussels. In this way, the bicycle highway fulfills a missing link in the bicycle network.

    Bicycle highway F204

    The construction of bicycle highway F204, parallel to the E411, provides a direct connection between Brussels and the Walloon border towards Wavre. The bicycle highway thereby provides a safe cycle path and safe route.

    Redesign of Jezus-Eik village center

    Following the Overijse municipal master plan, the approach to the Jezus-Eik village center is an initial important step. The ambition here is to transform Jezus-Eik into a gateway to the Sonian Forest.

    Bicycle highway F29

    The construction of bicycle highway F29 will provide a fast, safe and comfortable connection between Brussels, Tervuren and Leuven. We connect nearby neighborhoods through the future bicycle highway and build bicycle tunnels and bridges to avoid dangerous crossings with pedestrians, cars and public transportation.

    Ring cycle path FR0 between Vierarmen and E40

    Several bicycle highways run to and from Brussels. These are cycle routes that connect Brussels to cities at a distance of 15 to 20 km away from the capital. We are working on additional bicycle connections such as the Ring Cycle path, which follows the course of the Ring around Brussels (R0), to enable bike traffic between these bicycle highways.

    Wezembeek-Oppem – Brussels cycling route

    Currently, the possibilities for building a cycling route between Wezembeek-Oppem and Brussels are still being studied. The cycling route should connect Brussels to bicycle highway F29 (Tervuren-Leuven).
