End of the traffic diversion

The works on Quai de l'Industrie 168 have ended. All traffic can go back in both directions. So the diversion of the past weekends has been disbanded! This will again make it easier to reach the Abattoir car park. The contractor completed the works within the envisaged deadline.

Renovation Works on the Coverted Market, our listed monument

Starting Tuesday, March 18, the company MONUMENT-VANDEKERCKHOVE will begin installing a large scaffold on the front façade of the covered market, directly across from the bull statues. The installation is expected to be completed around March 27.

During these two weeks, passage will not be possible, except on market days and during Boeremet. This scaffold is essential to prepare for the renovation work on the covered market and to consolidate the building.

The actual renovation work will not begin until early next year. The market hall will gradually be restored to its former glory. However, the full renovation will take several more years.

The project is supervised by architect Tars Stevens, who also oversaw the renovation of the rear façade.

 

STOP violence in our neighbourhood

In recent weeks, our neighbourhood has not been out of the media. Unfortunately with less pleasant news. Clemenceau metro station was one of the places in Brussels where shootings took place on several occasions as a result of a war between drug gangs. We therefore hope for a strong approach by the relevant public services and more resources to restore a positive dynamic to the neighbourhood. We owe this to our customers, our staff, our neighbours. This morning, our CEO, Elke Tiebout, gave an interview on Radio 1 following the situation. Please refer to the VRT website to read or re-listen to this interview... Click here

All our best wishes for 2025 !

We would like to convey our best wishes from the bottom of our hearts for an exceptional year. As far as we are concerned, 2025 will be marked by the end of the works on the Manufakture (end of May), the fitting-out works for the geothermal project (by summer) as well as important sewerage works on the exit side of Erasmus High School near the canal (February-March).

We also hope to start a new construction project at the end of the year, namely KOTMET, between metro Clemeanceau and the FOODMET.

So things are moving at Abattoir.... But above all, we wish everyone good health and peace on Earth.
