Stock Photo - A cyclist pictured during a press moment of De Werkvennootschap, on the occasion of the official opening of the first bicycle and pedestrian bridge over the Ring around Brussels, in Machelen, Monday 30 May 2022. Cyclists play an important role in the Working on the Ring (Werken aan de Ring) programme. This bridge forms the final part of the F3 bicycle highway and makes cycling between Leuven and Brussels a lot safer, faster and more comfortable. Thanks to connections with Diegem train station and various business parks in the area, sustainable commuter traffic in the region is given a major boost. In addition to De Werkvennootschap and the province of Flemish Brabant, the municipalities of Machelen and Zaventem also contribute to the total budget of more than 26 million euros.
