After 4 years of rehabilitation works, Pont Adolphe will be back in service next Saturday 25 March 2017. 

Announcing the re-opening, the government thanked the collaboration between the Pavement Administration and the companies involved, saying that the restoration of the structure was exemplary, and the iconic bridge is now fully “healed”.

Traffic will again be able to circulate on Pont Adolphe from between 17:00 and 18:00 next Saturday, and will no longer need to use the temporary blue bridge that will be completely closed and dismantled over the coming months.

Some works remain outstanding, such as dismantling the scaffolding, redeveloping the squares in Brussels and Metz and building access to the new bicycle bridge will still have to be carried out.

The commissioning of the bicycle bridge under Pont Adolphe is planned for the end of summer 2017.
