United Kingdom Work on new tram line to start on 4 May
Published on 30/04/2015
After years of delays, the Brussels Transport Minister Pascal Smet (Flemish socialist) and the Mayor of Jette Hervé Doyen (Francophone Christian democrat) announced that work is to start on the new line at a press conference on 29 April morning.
The new tram will travel along the Jetselaan, the Tentoonstellingslaan and the Dikkebeuklaan. The new three km line should open in the autumn of 2018. It is estimated that it will cost EUR 66.4 million.
After 2018, the line will be extended further to the Heizel. This final stretch of track may also be used by the Flemish public transport company De Lijn for their ‘Randtram’. A final decision on the Randtram will be taken before the summer.
