Yard of the century

How about visiting an Oosterweel construction site with your company or association? Or even a group of friends? That’s perfectly possible! As of now, the Scheldt tunnel construction site on Linkeroever can be visited with the Antwerp City Guides.

On the left bank of the Scheldt in Antwerp, Lantis is constructing the approach and mouth of the new Scheldt Tunnel in Antwerp. This tunnel is a crucial section of the Oosterweel link and completes the Antwerp Ring Road.

On the visit to the construction site you will learn more about the construction and the significance of the new tunnel under the Scheldt. A guide will accompany you to an observation tower for a unique view of the tunnel approach and its construction on Linkeroever. What a technical feat!

Attention:

  • Please check all safety regulations before booking your guided tour.
  • Access to the construction site is permitted only with a guide.
