Brussels Ring Road’s Leonard tunnel to close to traffic from 8 to 20 May

Brussels Ring Road’s Leonard tunnel to close to traffic from 8 to 20 May
 
The Leonard intersection, already a traffic hotspot due to major ongoing works – will be completely closed to traffic from 8 to 20 May, reports Bruzz.
 
Motorists will need to take a detour above ground, which is expected to result in further serious disruption to the beleagured motorway junction.
 
The busy intersection, linking the Brussels Ring with the E411 Brussels-Luxembourg motorway, has been undergoing major work for several months. Several phases have resulted in extensive traffic congestion and the busy crossroads will not be completely reopened before early 2025.
 
The new phase of work will focus on the 'supports' between the two tunnels of the crossroads. As a result, no traffic will be able pass through the deeper tunnel of the Brussels Ring Road. The roads and traffic agency has chosen the period of the Ascension and Pentecost public holiday weekends to carry out this extensive work to limit traffic nuisance.
 
Causing additional disruption to the busy area is ongoing work on the Vierarmen tunnel at the Tervuren junction just two kilometres away.
