From 14 September 2026, STIB-MIVB will renew the tram tracks in Rue de l’Étoile/Sterstraat. The works will be carried out in several phases between Rue de Stalle/Stallestraat and the Rodts stop towards Drogenbos. The Keyenbempt stops will then be upgraded and the roadway will be redeveloped.
What is happening and why?
To maintain service quality and comfort, STIB-MIVB is renewing the tram tracks and upgrading the Keyenbempt stops in rue de l’Étoile/Sterstraat, between rue de Stalle/Stallestraat and rue Fleurbeek/Fleurbeekstraat.

Tram track renewal: phase 1
Following the utility works, STIB-MIVB will start renewing the tram tracks.
From 14 September to 6 November 2026:
- Rue de l’Étoile/Sterstraat will be closed to all traffic, including access to garages and driveways, from the junction with Rue de Stalle/Stallestraat up to Rue Keyenbempt/Keyenbemptstraat (not included);
- Rue des Myosotis/Vergeet-me-nietjesstraat will become a dead-end street at Rue de l’Étoile/Sterstraat. It will remain accessible via other streets and a local diversion will be put in place;
- access for pedestrians, emergency services and waste collection services will remain guaranteed;
- parking restrictions will apply at certain locations around the works zone.
From 2 November 2026, Farys is also planning works between Rue Fleurbeek/Fleurbeekstraat and no. 120 Rue de l’Étoile/Sterstraat. These works are expected to last no more than two weeks.
Tramwerken
Na afloop van de nutswerken start de MIVB met het vervangen van de tramsporen, wat ongeveer vijf maanden zal duren. Aansluitend worden de haltes Keyenbempt opnieuw aangelegd om het comfort en de toegankelijkheid te verbeteren. De definitieve planning hangt af van de voortgang van de werken van Vivaqua. Verdere communicatie volgt later in de wijk.
