From 9 August, a temporary tonnage restriction will apply to the Vilvoorde viaduct, part of the Brussels inner ring road (R0).

The restriction is due to ongoing welding work. Vehicles weighing more than 3.5 tonnes will be prohibited from using the viaduct from Friday 23:00 to Monday 4:00.

These restrictions will be enforced every weekend from today (9 August) until 31 December 2025. The new rules apply to the inner ring road towards Zaventem. Additionally, the Koningslo-Vilvoorde exit towards the inner ring road will be physically closed to all traffic at weekends.
