New road link "Meccano" Antwerp
Traffic analysis and SCBA of a new road link in Antwerp
This study made a traffic analysis and a social cost benefit analysis
of the MECCANO road link.
This is the alternative connection for the Oosterweel road link and has
as most important characteristics that it is a more northern Schelde
crossing, it has an extra western tangent, and it offers route charging
instead of a toll on the Oosterweel road link with a freight prohibition
for the Kennedy tunnel.
The project was conducted for Forum 2020. It compares two projects and 6 alternatives: the Oosterweel road link as by decision of the Flemish government, and the Meccano road link as defined by the Forum 2020.
