Why a renovation?
The Beverentunnel is in need of modernisation. This is why we are planning a complete renovation. We will be making alterations to the structure and supply systems, while getting the tunnel ready to meet the energy- and climate-related challenges of the future.
- We will conduct inspections in the spring of 2024 in preparation for renovation.
- From 12 April 2024 we will conduct preliminary work on the diversion route.
- The renovation will start on 8 July 2024. The construction works will last for six months in each direction. The Beverentunnel will be closed to traffic heading towards Ghent for one year and a diversion will be in effect. You will still be able to drive through the tunnel in the direction of the Netherlands.
- If all runs smoothly, the renovated tunnel will open in late summer 2025.
- We will conduct some more safety tests as of August 2025.
