Beneath the bustling Avenue Louise lies the Vleurgat Tunnel. This crucial artery of Brussels connects the city center to the tranquil Bois de la Cambre. Vleurgat Tunnel pulses with the rhythm of the city. The Vleurgat Tunnel isn’t just a passageway. It’s a time capsule, opened in 1964. It carries the legacy of the former hamlet, Vleurgat. This hamlet, located a half kilometer south, lent its name to both the tunnel and the intersecting Vleurgatsesteenweg. The Vleurgat Tunnel stretches 63 meters, accommodating two lanes in each direction without a central barrier. Traffic lights stand guard at each entrance. They are ready to halt the flow if needed. Electronic signs hover above, displaying messages of up to 35 characters. The Vleurgat Tunnel has a unique design. It lacks internal lighting and emergency bays. The watchful eyes of MOBIRIS operators at Mobiel Brussel ensure its constant surveillance. In 2022, inspections revealed a concerning issue. The roof, built with a unique thin plate design stabilized by prestressing cables, showed signs of corrosion. This discovery led to a crucial decision in the summer of 2027. The Vleurgat Tunnel underwent reinforcements to ensure its safety. This temporarily reduced its capacity. The Vleurgat Tunnel continues to serve Brussels. It stands as a testament to the city’s commitment to preserving its infrastructure while ensuring the safety of its citizens.
