New look for Zwaanaardestraat in Sinaai

Rioproject Zwaanaarde
The Zwijnaarde sewer project involves the installation of a separated sewer system, the complete redevelopment of the above-ground area, and the renewal of utility lines. The works cover a route of 5 kilometers in Zwaanaardestraat and several side streets. This is a significant project with a major impact on water purification in Sinaai.

Seperate sewerage and traffic safety

A separated sewer system will be installed throughout the entire route with separate drainage for rainwater and wastewater. This allows the wastewater to be diverted separately to the water treatment plant, making water purification more efficient. The rainwater will be directed to nearby watercourses to retain the water longer and allow it to penetrate the soil.

The redevelopment of the public domain will make the area safer for traffic, including a two-way bicycle path separated from the roadway along the entire Zwaanaarde-Keizerstraat route and the redevelopment of the school area in Leeburgstraat.

Safety First

In addition to the infrastructure works, we have placed special emphasis on the safety and livability of the area. In the construction zone is primary school De Zwaan, where we organized a hands-on lesson to raise children's awareness of traffic safety and the dangers of blind spots. A truck was placed in the schoolyard, allowing students to experience firsthand what a driver can and cannot see. This way, we contribute to safer traffic for the youngest residents of the neighborhood.
