The Work on the Ring Road program is committed to improving the quality of life in the region. This is being done by investing in built space and repairing and improving the green-blue network. The redesign of the Jezus-Eik village center is part of this ambition.


The village center is approached in phases:

Phase 0: Adjustments of the Jezus-Eik center (completed)

In Phase 0, which has already been completed, the main focus was on quality of life. Reduce the road traffic speed by narrowing the Brusselsesteenweg and creating some kinks in the road. This has freed up space for large trees and benches. With these interventions, the area is already more pleasant for residents and gentle road users.

Phase 1: new bridges and parking areas (scheduled for August 2023)

In this phase of the project, motor traffic will be separated from bicycle and pedestrian traffic by two new bridges over the E411, which will provide safe and comfortable crossing. The new bicycle and pedestrian bridge has also been carefully placed in line with the Ring Cycle path on Welriekendedreef and connected to bicycle highway F204.
New bus stops will be built on both sides of the highway, directly under the Kersenbomenlaan bridge. These stops are shielded from traffic and provide a direct connection to and from Brussels. This will provide improved accessibility to the Jezus-Eik center by public transport. Parking areas will also be moved to the back of the houses, next to the highway, with a connection to the new bus stop.

Phase 2: redesign the slip road complex and Jezus-Eik center (study)

In the next phase, there are plans to re-examine the entire E411 slip road complex. The thorough redesign of the Jezus-Eik junction is part of the redesign of the R0 East and is therefore done through an integrated planning process using a regional spatial implementation plan (RSIP).
This allows for the full development of the Jezus-Eik center as a recreational gateway to the Sonian Forest with space for terraces, cycle paths and greenery.

The elaboration of this project is achieved through close cooperation between SBE – Omgeving – Ney & Partners – D+A. SBE is responsible for:

Responsibilities SBE

  • Stability design of the bicycle tunnel under Vuurgatstraat and all retaining structures
  • Electromechanical study of bus stops
  • Preparation of the tender file

    Redesign R0 East Brussels

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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).
