The municipality of Boutersem has officially opened a new cycle path, providing a safe and comfortable connection.

The new cycle path, serving as an alternative to the Smidstraat, has now been officially put into use. This connection is designed to offer cyclists and pedestrians a safe and comfortable route to their destinations.
A key feature of the new path is its illumination, ensuring cyclists can travel safely even during the darker months. This contributes to the overall safety and accessibility of the cycling network.
The Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV) plans to construct a new cycle crossing at Neervelpsestraat soon. This crossing will seamlessly connect to the newly built cycle path, further enhancing the continuity of the cycling route.
Through these initiatives, the municipality of Boutersem, in collaboration with AWV, is taking further steps towards creating a safer environment for both cyclists and pedestrians in the region.
