From 22:00 on Saturday until 06:00 on Sunday, the Brussels Ring Road in Zaventem will be closed to traffic, to enable the safe installation of the first section of a new bridge on Avenue Hector Henneau.
The capacity of the Brussels Ring in Zaventem is likely to be reduced from 18:00 on Saturday until 22:00, when it will be totally closed to traffic. The road will likely remain closed until 09:00 on Sunday morning due to a planned reinstallation of the bridge's lights.
As a result, diversion routes will be established between the Zaventem junction on the A201 motorway, which connects Brussels Airport to the municipality Evere, and the Woluwé-Saint-Etienne interchange with the E40 motorway.

The installation is the first phase of a complete revamp of said Zaventem junction, which connects the Brussels Ring to the A201, between Zaventem Airport and Brussels.
According to reports, the new bridge will be twice as wide as the existing one, with distinct lanes for cyclists, pedestrians, and buses.
The new bridge is expected to be open for traffic this winter.
