Central Station
A complete renovation
Published on
The Central Station metro station is undergoing a complete renovation : bigger, more modern and more attractive.
The Central Station metro station will change completely in a few years. More spacious, more modern, brighter, more accessible... Once the work is completed, the station will look completely different. The work will be carried out in phases, so as to minimise disruption and never interrupt metro traffic.
Current disruptions
♿ Accessibility to the station for people with reduced mobility is not guaranteed until September 2026. The lifts to the platforms are temporarily out of service.
👷♂️ In order to renovate the platforms of the station, the old tiles have been stripped, and the flooring is temporarily removed until beginning of April.
👉 We invite passengers to be careful when getting on and off the vehicles to avoid falling.
🚧Since 13 February, one of the staircases leading to the platform direction Parc/Park is permanently closed and one of the staircases leading to the platform direction De Brouckère is temporarily closed.
🚧 The pedestrian crossings on rue Cardinal Mercier/Kardinaal Mercierstraat, rue de Loxum/Loksumstraat, rue Ravenstein/Ravensteinstraat and on Putterie/Putterij are moved.
🚗In the direction of the SNCB/NMBS station, rue des Colonies/Koloniënstraat is temporarily a one-way street. A diversion is planned in the uphill direction.
Expansion and modernisation
Modernising a metro station without disrupting operations presents a number of challenges. In the downloads section of this page you will find a more detailed presentation of the project.:
