Part of the Senne resurfaces in Brussels

The river is again discovered over a stretch of 200 meters, in order to guarantee better water quality and enrich biodiversity. The construction of new banks will allow the local fauna to expand.

The Senne is once again becoming an “ecological corridor”, underlines Benjamin Thiébaux, from the hydrography service of the Brussels Institute for Management of the environment. “The return of biodiversity is one of the European objectives.”

Besides the nature aspect, there is also an economic aspect, with 225 meters of new quay walls built on along the Willebroek canal. They will be used by the circular economy company Comet to transport a minimum of 80,000 tonnes per year by river, which represents 7,500 trucks and 1,200 tonnes of CO2 less on the roads.

“More and more players want to contribute to economic development that takes into account climate issues and the need to strengthen nature”, noted the Brussels Minister of the Environment, Alain Maron.
