Antwerp to roll out 19 km of bicycle streets this summer

The city of Antwerp will speed up the construction of 19 km of new bicycle streets to guarantee social distancing for cyclists. Plans to transform streets into cycling lanes already existed, but the process is accelerated due to the urgency to keep distance between passengers during the COVID-19 crisis. The bicycle infrastructure in Antwerp also includes markings to show cyclists and motorists what lanes are intended for cyclists only.
