Slipping beneath the city’s skin, the Jupiter Tunnel whispers stories of Brussels’ hidden pulse. Right here, under the bustling streets, lies a key artery in the city’s circulatory system. The Jupiter Tunnel isn’t just a passage; it’s a portal connecting different parts of Brussels. Officially known as the Schuman-Josaphat Tunnel, this subterranean marvel stretches for 1,250 meters. The Jupiter Tunnel opened on April 4, 2016. It significantly impacts the city’s Regional Express Network (RER/GEN). The Jupiter Tunnel links Line 161 (Brussels-Namur) after Meiser station and Line 26 (Halle-Vilvoorde). This connection bypasses the often-congested Brussels-North station. Imagine traveling from the European Quarter to the airport in under 15 minutes. That’s the magic the Jupiter Tunnel brings. This feat of engineering wasn’t easy. Construction started in June 2008 and took years to complete. Builders used unusual techniques. They dug out the tunnel’s shell by hand and with small excavators, minimizing disruption above. The cost? A hefty €210 million, funded by Beliris, a partnership between the Belgian Federal State and the Brussels Region. The Jupiter Tunnel stands as a testament to modern engineering. It seamlessly blends functionality with minimal urban disruption. So next time you use this tunnel, remember the hidden effort that keeps Brussels connected.
