Access to the Sint-Janshospitaal, the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk, the Gruuthusemuseum and the Archeologiemuseum will nevertheless be safeguarded. Pedestrians will always have access. The bus stop at the Onze-Lieve-Vrouwekerk in the Gruuthusestraat remains usable. Motorized traffic, cyclists and buses can be hindered.

In order to limit the inconvenience, the work will be carried out in several phases.
