The A new road and bicycle highway along the R22
Roadworks in the Woluwedal This year, De Werkvennootschap will start to construct the F202 bicycle highway along the R22 which will connect Zaventem with Kraainem in the Woluwedal. At the same time, the roadworks are also being completed. Whilst constructing the new bicycle highway along the R22, we will be doing roadworks at the junctions with Leuvensesteenweg (N2) and Tramlaan. In addition, we are completing the redesign of the Woluwedal. Cyclists will be able to cross Leuvensesteenweg safely using a new bicycle tunnel. Coordinated approach within the scheduled turnaround time
It was a deliberate decision to have a single construction company, De Werkvennootschap, to prepare and coordinate all the works. This allows us to monitor and implement two projects simultaneously in the same roadworks zone. Smart planning means the construction of the bicycle tunnel and bicycle highway - which were not included in the original Woluwedal renovation plans - will not increase the overall turnaround time. The Fast access to Brussels overhaul of the second carriageway of the regional road is expected to take about The F202 15 months; construction of the new bicycle The F202 is part of the Fiets-GEN regional express highway and tunnel will not change this network: 400 km of safe and comfortable cycle timing. paths around Brussels and in the Flemish periphery. This project aims to encourage commuters to cycle to work as often as possible.
Safe and speedy alternative
- The F202 bicycle highway is being constructed along the eastern side of the R22 which connects Zaventem with the Kraainem area. - The F202 joins the F203, leading to the Brussels- Capital Region and the HST cycle route. - Cyclists will be able to cross Leuvensesteenweg safely and quickly through a bicycle tunnel.
Bicycle tunnel beneath the N2 The aim of the new project is to create a pleasant and spacious tunnel with plenty of natural light. Progress of the works

During this phase, the the R22 will be completed in this phase. The River Woluwe will be channelled along its reconstruction of the R22 north of the N2 definitive course. The new course of the river and the junction with the N2 on the western will be excavated and the existing sewage side will continue in this phase. system will be relocated.

For example, we will Phase 2 create green areas and build Estimated duration: 9 months a retaining wall at the During this phase, we will be building the exit from the E40. Zaventem bicycle tunnel under Leuvensesteenweg. Underground utilities will need relocating and new sewage systems will be required as Borrestraat a result. The junction between Tramlaan and the R22 is being rebuilt.

During phases 1a and 1b - Most of the work will be done away from the existing road, meaning that no traffic diversions will be required.
