Redevelopment works at the Brucity area

The project consists of the redesign of the area around the new Brucity building (Hallenstraat, Zwarte Lievevrouwstraat, Visverkopersstraat, Augustijnenstraat, and parts of Kiekenmarkt, Lakensestraat, Sint-Katelijneplein, and Bisschopsstraat) with the aim of better connecting the different neighbourhoods and creating a homogeneous whole.

The entire project will take 1.5 years. These works are divided into several phases:

Rue des Augustins

From Monday 11 September 2023, works will begin on the facade-to-facade redevelopment of the Rue des Augustins between the Rue de Laeken and the Place de Brouckère. Completion of the works is scheduled for mid-November 2023, subject to favourable weather conditions.

The works will be carried out in successive sub-phases in order to ensure that the road can be used by cars, cyclists and pedestrians. Initially, the works will concentrate on the central roadway and the even-numbered pavement at the level of the Whitewood building. The contractor will then work on the odd-numbered pavement.

Rue des Poissonniers

Following technical problems with the water pipes, Vivaqua is having to carry out additional works as required. As a result, the roadworks in the centre have not been able to progress within the timeframe initially announced. As a result, to reach the Rue Paul Devaux and the Boulevard Anspach, it will be necessary to continue along the rue du Marché aux Poulets.

Works in this area are scheduled for completion in September 2023, subject to Vivaqua's intervention and the weather conditions.

Accessibility

Pedestrians, cyclists, people with reduced mobility and access to shops and homes will be guaranteed throughout the works.

Traffic will be interrupted at the Rue des Poissonniers (between Rue Orts and Rue Devaux). The Rue de la Vierge Noire will only be accessible for local traffic (access for residents and deliveries).

Deliveries (between 4 am and 11 am): access to the Boulevard Anspach and Rue Paul Devaux via the Rue du Marché aux Poulets.
