Craeybeckx Tunnel


The Craeybeckx tunnel is a road tunnel in Antwerp built in 1981 to reduce the noise from the traffic, for the benefit of the Sint-Augustinus hospital and the Middelheim hospital.
The tunnel is 1600 m long and is the widest in Belgium. The construction is named after Lode Craeybeckx, the mayor of Antwerp between 1947 and 1976.
Approximately 120.000 vehicles pass the tunnel every day.
