Soup at official opening of Tervuren’s cycle bridge

Tervurenaars, too, are invited to the inauguration of the 77.5-meter-long bridge over the Vier-Armen crossroad. The inauguration takes place on Thursday, December 19, from 14:30 to 18:00. There’s free soup, non-alcoholic mulled wine for cyclists, and a “surprise” gadget to make you stand out on the bridge and during the dark winter months.

McDo majority looms after Tervuren elections

McDonald’s is set to secure a political majority in Tervuren following the upcoming elections, according to answers given by local political leaders to the newspaper De Standaard. This would allow a newly constituted town government to overturn the rejection by Vlaams-Brabant authorities, earlier this year, of McDonald’s second planning application.

Tervuren’s €279,000 bill for Duisburgsesteenweg

Residents along the Duisburgsesteenweg see little hope of any real solution to traffic problems once the luxury appartments are completed with an estimated 400 accompanying new cars to join. Town grandees appear not to have decided for widening dangerously narrow pedestrian and cycle path before handing over the plush Panquin appartments.

Date for Tervuren’s Vier-Armen cycle bridge

The cycle and pedestrian bridge over Vier-Armen is now expected to be placed over the weekend of 21-22 September. Logistics will be easier that weekend as Brussels holds a car-free day on Sunday 22 September. And the 290 ton bridge is expected to be officially opened towards the end of October, once all works are completed.

Tervuren’s historic bridge back on 13 November

The restored wrought-iron pedestrian and cycle bridge on Keizerinnedreef in Tervuren park will be officially reopened on Wednesday 13 November 2024. From May 2023 to October 2024, the bridge was restored by the Régie des Bâtiments, with the financial support of the National Lottery.

Historic park bridge edges to finish

Restauration works on the historic bridge on the Keizerinnedreef in Tervuren park should be completed this summer. Delays have been caused by the need to carry out more in-depth restauration than previously envisaged.

Tervuren pond ran dry next to Panquin

It remains unclear whether or not the pond and our fauna and flora has fallen victim to constructions works for Panquin’s luxury appartments. Workers there have been constantly pumping water away on the other side of the Duisburgsesteenweg. One theory is that the constant pumping, to clear water for Panquin’s basement, has pushed the water level under that of the pond’s natural spring.

Ski Hut placing is ‘question of weeks’

The €2.5 million ‘Ski Hut’ could now be placed within “weeks”, the Flemish public works agency, De Werkvennootschap, says. The Vier-Armen pedestrian and cyclist bridge was originally scheduled for installation on 15-17 March. The wooden bridge is part of the F29 fietssnelweg, or cycle motorway, between Tervuren and Leuven.
