Ronse-Ellezelles: site of the Beaufaux Bridge

Development of a greenway link under the Beaufaux bridge. This work involves going through the bridge cavity, which is currently blocked, so that bikes can cycle directly under the bridge. At the moment, cyclist have to get off their bike and use one staircase on the Walloon side and another staircase on the Flemish side. The works are in progress. It will be possible to pass under the Beaufaux bridge in spring 2024.

Total budget : 600 000 € VAT
ERDF contribution : 0 € VAT

Taken over by the SPW Mobilité et Infrastructures and the Province Oost-Vlaanderen with its own funds because of the Interreg deadline
