The Belgian authorities will pay the remaining €1 million for the study. The main aim of this study is to try and separate local and transit traffic, without extending the existing road infrastructure.

More specifically, the EU co-funded study includes an Environmental Impact Assessment and the pre-design for the Brussels Ring Roads East and West, as well as an examination of the possibility to set up a public-private partnership (PPP) for the future works. The study will be monitored by the 7021 Trans-European Transport Network Executive Agency (TEN-T EA) and is set to be completed by December 2015.
