The municipal workshop in Herentals will start renovating the sidewalks on Rik Van Looylaan in mid-November, including improvements to the bike paths.

In mid-November, the municipal workshop will begin breaking up the concrete tiles of the sidewalks on Rik Van Looylaan. They will be replaced with a dolomite surface, following the example of the Vorselaarsebaan. The renovation will occur in phases, depending on weather conditions.
During the sidewalk work, the municipal workshop will also carry out minor repairs to the bike paths. A contractor will later mill away height differences between the concrete slabs of the bike paths to enhance cycling comfort and safety. The contract has been awarded, but the specific schedule for the work is not yet known.
