New tram exit via chaussée de Haecht/Haachtsesteenweg in Haren

Works resume at the end of January 2026

Published on

STIB-MIVB continues to invest in reliable and future-proof public transport. That's why the Haren depot is getting an additional tram exit. This way trams can leave the depot more easily and transport services remain guaranteed. The surrounding public space is also being redeveloped.

Where and when will the works take place in Haren?

In rue du Planeur/Zweefvliegtuigstraat and rue de l’Aéronef/ Luchtschipstraat, we installed new tram tracks between January and May 2026 and we connected the tram tracks with the ones on avenue Léopold III/ Leopold III laan. On chaussée de Haecht/ Haachtsesteenweg the bike lane next to the tram tracks will be renewed.

Once the tracks are installed, rue du Planeur/Zweefvliegtuigstraat and rue de l’Aéronef/Luchtschipstraat are renovated with special attention to the comfort and security of all road users.
