Works in progress

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?

From the end of January until May 2026 we're installing new tram tracks in rue du Planeur/Zweefvliegtuigstraat and rue de l’Aéronef/Luchtschipstraat, and we connect the tram tracks to boulevard Léopold III/Leopold III-laan. On chaussée de Haecht/Haachtsesteenweg the cycle lane next to the tram tracks is being renewed.

Renovation of the streets

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. 

Traffic and accessibility

Since Friday evening, 27 February, traffic on chaussée de Haecht / Haachtsesteenweg has returned to two-way circulation.

Since Monday morning, 2 March, rue du Planeur / Zweefvliegtuigstraat has reopened to local traffic via chaussée de Haecht / Haachtsesteenweg.

As of 12 May 2026, traffic on rue de la Fusée / Raketstraat has returned to two-way circulation. The exit towards Bordet remains accessible. Tram track installation works on boulevard Léopold III / Leopold III-laan and rue de la Fusée / Raketstraat have been completed.

From 18 May 2026, rue du Planeur / Zweefvliegtuigstraat and rue de l’Aéronef / Luchtschipstraat will become one-way streets from chaussée de Haecht / Haachtsesteenweg towards rue de la Fusée / Raketstraat. At rue de la Fusée / Raketstraat, traffic will be able to turn both left and right. Public space redevelopment works will start.

By the end of May 2026, works on chaussée de Haecht / Haachtsesteenweg will be completed and all traffic lanes will be fully restored.
