Replacement of a switch on metro line 5
From Thursday 29 May 2025 to Sunday 1 June 2025
We systematically upgrade our infrastructure to guarantee the safety of our passengers. This time, we replace a first switch near Saint-Guidon/Sint-Guido and a second one near Veeweyde/Veeweide. To make sure these works are finished as soon as possible, metro services on line 5 are suspended between Erasme/Erasmus and Jacques Brel from 29 May until 1 June.
