New bridge over tracks in Beervelde is ready and should drastically reduce traffic jams

The new bridge over the railway in Beervelde will open on November 16, aiming to reduce traffic jams caused by trains crossing paths with vehicles. Infrabel constructed the bridge to enhance safety and alleviate congestion, as 165 trains pass daily. The bridge features two lanes for cars and separate paths for pedestrians and cyclists. Access to the train platforms will be established in the coming months, while the existing crossing will remain open until January 9-10, when it will be officially closed. The project cost 5 million euros and includes ongoing work around the bridge, expected to finish by mid-January.
