Current and planned roadworks
As a national airport located in the heart of Europe, Brussels Airport is the ideal gateway to Brussels, Belgium and the rest of the world. The extensive road network surrounding the airport is a valuable asset, but it requires regular maintenance and occasional roadworks. Here, you will find a summary of ongoing and upcoming roadworks near Brussels Airport.
The existing interchange between the R0 and the A201 will be redesigned as a compact ‘Single Point Interchange’. The existing flyovers will be replaced by a new bridge above the ring road where a single intersection will regulate traffic flows.
In a first phase, the northern half of the A201 fly-over was demolished. In the second phase, the southern half will be demolished.
Although Brussels Airport remains easily accessible, we advise passengers who travel to Brussels Airport by car to bear in mind that travel times may be longer due to diversions and slow traffic.

During the night from Friday 25 October (9 pm) to Saturday 26 October (5 am) the breakdown lane and the far-right lane on the outer ring road R0 will be closed to traffic.

The Vilvoorde Viaduct is one of the busiest traffic junctions in the country, with more than 150,000 vehicles passing over it every day. After 50 years, the viaduct is in need of thorough renovation.
Impact
Between August 2023 and the end of 2025, the works will mainly concern the inner ring road. To carry out the work, the speed limit will be reduced to 50 km/h and the traffic lanes will be narrowed. Traffic coming from Ghent, Bruges and the north/north-west of Brussels to the airport may be disrupted.
Location
