If you ga bit to the west you find the brand new junction and the bit of dead road that’s going to use it.
They are doing something like that with 2 bridges on the Brussels ring. One is a railway bridge and the other is a road and bicycle bridge.
They build the bridge on the side of the road and overnight move it to it’s final place.
I wish we had Rijkswaterstaat
Why be efficient when you can get payed more if your project runs longer than expected?
Iirc they did something similar in Wommelgem already decades ago.
The cyclist bridge over two two-lane roads near my house took over 4 years to build.
Not fair, they use mods in their game.
If Belgium is already absolutely unable to maintain and fix its “standard” roads efficiently, how one can even imagine that such project could be conceivable ?
Few years ago, was driving in North Italy, in a small village for holidays. First day, there was a spot to fix on the street. Not a huge one but could be problematic for riders. Second day, the spot was secured. Third day, the spot was under control. Fourth day, it was done…
I cannot imagine that in Belgium. And I do not live in a rotting village lost in the middle of a crappy area.
They actually did exactly that in Roeselare. Tunnel under a railroad. One night. But that’s West flanders , not Brussels or Antwerp.
Pfff thats fn old…
You remember the 2 bridges at exit Wavre/Waver on E411? 😂😂
Lol they do .went on a job like that couple of years ago .under trainrails verwezen Brugge en Beernem .
Lol they do .went on a job like that couple of years ago .under trainrails between Brugge en Beernem
Actually, I can. They actually did something like this on the E313 in Herentals back in 2002. Teardown of the old bridge, moving in the new one, filling in the voids and put new asphalt on it in just a single weekend.
// edit: extended weekend starting thursday evening, still impressive though, knowing that it usually takes 2 years to fill a pothole…
They do that in Belgium (in lesser extent obviously – this clearly is Dutch efficiency at work). It’s just that the tons of preparation beforehand and aftercare afterwards is not present in these types of time-lapse videos.
The actual work is centered in a fixed number of days because closing off an entire road or railroad traffic like this for long periods of time is often just not allowed. So they often only have a handful of days to do this. But planning and preparing this type of work is no joke.
Like in my region, they built a “tunnel” underneath a busy railroad. The total length of the works took *years*. But the actual breaking up of the railway and placing of the “tunnel tube” (as in the part of the work that is similar to this time-lapse) was only allowed to take place in 2-3 days. All the rest was preparation and aftercare. But of course, a timelapse of a years-long wharf doesn’t make for an interesting video. 🤣
Lol belgium also replaces bridges in one night and shit like this
We totally could do this. We just don’t want to. Big difference.

Nederlanders kunnen nou eenmaal goed wegen bouwen, en dan ook nog eens een heel stuk sneller, goedkoper, en veiliger dan Belgen.
Thats like 2years of work here
Take notes Meulestedebrug, you running joke of the century.
They’d just dig it up, then put some yellow tape around the hole for a few years.
Where’s the one guy digging with a shovel and his 10 coworkers just looking at him?
China: One day, but low quality.
Urban planning and road infrastructure is amazing in the Netherlands.
I think we managed this in the past in Lummen, when transforming the “Klaverblad” into the turbine.
If you look at the comments everybody mentions it would take years in their own country
Dafuq.. The Dutch seem to be high on some sort of their drug when it comes to infrastructure projects. It painful for anyone to be their neighbours..
Where are the protesting labour unions? Where are the local politicians creating non existing issues… They just openened it in 2 days.
I don’t recognize the location.
Is it gare de Mons or Palais de justice ?

I drive over it every day and I **it still isn’t in use!!!**. They did this in 2017
They are removing many trees and bushes to prepare the road going there this week.
Tunnel ‘Parklaan’
