De alternatieven die sinds de sluiting zijn aangeboden, blijven tot die tijd beschikbaar. Het gaat daarbij om pendelbussen, extra busritten, het tijdelijke treinstation op de linkeroever en verbindingen voor fietsers, voetgangers en watervervoer.<\/p>\n<h4>Het verraderlijke asbest<\/h4>\n<p>Het asbest werd aangetroffen onder betonelementen en achter muren. Het verwijderen ervan vereist aanvullende veiligheidsmaatregelen, die extra tijd in beslag nemen en andere werkzaamheden vertragen.<\/p>\n<p>De grootschalige renovatie is in mei van dit jaar van start gegaan, nadat deze jarenlang was uitgesteld vanwege beleids- en\/of begrotingsbeslissingen. De Lijn werkt onder meer aan de modernisering van de sporen, tunnels en diverse boven- en ondergrondse systemen, die al jaren aan renovatie toe waren \u2013 sommige delen van het metronetwerk zijn inmiddels meer dan 50 jaar oud.<\/p>\n<h4>Het werk vordert goed<\/h4>\n<p>De sloopfase is nu afgerond. De afgelopen maanden hebben de teams onder andere 6 km spoor en bovenleidingen verwijderd. Daarnaast is 5.250 kubieke meter ballastbed verwijderd, zijn 500 kubieke meter betonnen kokers gesloopt en is 7.000 vierkante meter brandwerende spuitcoating verwijderd.<\/p>\n<p>De aannemer heeft ook sprinklerleidingen, ventilatiesystemen, kabels en leidingen verwijderd of gedemonteerd. Daarnaast heeft hij al betonherstel- en waterdichtingswerkzaamheden uitgevoerd.<\/p>\n<p><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-194898 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/260619Tunnelrenovatie_75A9903.png?resize=640%2C427&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/260619Tunnelrenovatie_75A9903.png?w=2000&amp;ssl=1 2000w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/260619Tunnelrenovatie_75A9903.png?w=1280&amp;ssl=1 1280w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/newmobility.news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/260619Tunnelrenovatie_75A9903.png?w=1920&amp;ssl=1 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<h4>Niet praktisch voor deelnemers aan de 10 Miles<\/h4>\n<p>De vertraging lijkt onder andere slecht nieuws te zijn voor de Antwerpse 10 Mijl op 18 april 2027, aangezien de vele duizenden deelnemers en supporters dankzij de bouwwerkzaamheden tegen die tijd normaal gesproken weer gebruik zouden hebben kunnen maken van de premetro. Vanwege de renovatie rijdt er geen tram tussen de P+R Melsele op de linkeroever en het metrostation Opera op de rechteroever.<\/p>\n<p>Golazo, de organisator van de Antwerp 10 Miles, is van plan om de komende dagen alle relevante (mobiliteits)partners bijeen te brengen om een oplossing te vinden. Dit jaar trok de 10 Miles een recordaantal van 50.000 deelnemers en tienduizenden extra toeschouwers langs het parcours.<\/p>\n<h4>Gevolgen tijdens de kerstperiode?<\/h4>\n<p>Onder andere de stad Antwerpen vraagt De Lijn om extra maatregelen te nemen vanwege de vertraging. De Antwerpse wethouder voor Mobiliteit, Koen Kennis (N-VA), wijst met name op de gevolgen tijdens de kerstperiode, toen er een beperkte tramdienst tussen de Linkeroever en het stadscentrum was gepland.<\/p>\n<p>De Vlaamse minister van Mobiliteit en Openbare Werken, Annick De Ridder (N-VA), zegt dat ze \u201cniet blij\u201d is met de vertraging. Ze zegt dat ze De Lijn onmiddellijk heeft opgedragen om \u201cin de zeer nabije toekomst\u201d aanvullende maatregelen te ontwikkelen om de overlast tot een minimum te beperken, met speciale aandacht voor de eindejaarsperiode. \u201cJuist dan moeten mensen de stad vlot en comfortabel kunnen blijven bereiken\u201d, aldus de minister.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Because workers found more asbestos than expected in previously inaccessible areas, renovation work on the Antwerp premetro tunnel between the Left and Right Banks has been delayed by 3 months.
