Construction work for a new bicycle connection in Zemst, focusing on the path being laid and the surrounding area.

In Zemst, work began on Monday, October 5th, to pave the bicycle connection between the parking lot of GC de Melkerij and the towpath.

The unpaved bicycle path along the football field will be hardened and slightly raised to make the slopes towards the parking lot and the cycle highway less steep. The works are expected to last one and a half to two weeks. Cyclists will have to follow a detour via the Brusselsesteenweg during this period. Eight parking spaces will be temporarily occupied.
The construction of the disabled access at GC de Melkerij is completed. The stairs and ramp can be used, but with caution as the handrail is still being custom-made.
