Brussels – Belgium’s Roads and Traffic Agency has scheduled three consecutive nights of resurfacing on vital approach corridors to Brussels between 15 and 18 April, a period that overlaps with the tail end of the Easter school break. The works—detailed by The Brussels Times on 13 April—will close sections of the northern R0 ring road near Wemmel and Grimbergen and shut both lanes of the E40 inbound at Groot-Bijgaarden overnight. Although the closures run from roughly 20h00 to 06h00, mobility consultants warn that evening departures and early-morning arrivals at Brussels Airport could be affected as airport employees, travellers and shuttle services funnel through diversion routes. The R0/E40 interchange is the primary artery for passengers coming from Flanders, Wallonia and neighbouring countries via the E40 corridor. Corporate travel managers should advise employees with late flights on 15–17 April to allow at least 30 minutes of extra surface-travel time or to consider the train from Brussels-Midi, which remains unaffected. Relocation providers moving household goods through the ring during the same window may need to adjust trucking permits and delivery slots. The agency says each stretch of asphalt will be milled and relaid in a single night to avoid multi-day closures—a technique that has cut total project time but concentrates disruption into shorter, more intense bursts. Variable message signs will guide traffic, and detours via Jette and local roads are being sign-posted.
