N76

Upgrading the N76 to a primary road?

This study will map the disclosure of the North-Eastern region of Limburg (Bree, Kinrooi, Maaseik, Peer, ...) to the E314. In the Spatial Structure Plan for Flanders, the N73 was selected as the primary road access to the E314. The question today is whether the N76 is not better suited for this role.

To this end, this study aims to answer the following questions:
1. From which need did the demand for an alternative primary connection Bree-E314 arise?
2. What are the different alternatives for a primary connection?
3. Is the alternative via the N76 desirable, necessary and feasible?
4. To which problems is a primary connection through the N76 to E314 a solution?
5. What is the benefit of an alternative primary connection through the N76 to the E314 in terms of costs and benefits: both in environmental, traffic engineering, socio-economical and spatial terms?
6. What are effects on traffic and traffic related effects on the N73, the N74 and N715 and the surrounding road network if the N76 would function eventually as the primary connection?
7. What are the constraints, costs, type of cross-sections, planning, and function of the N73 if the N76 is selected as the primary connection?
8. What are alternative solutions to the existing problems when the transformation of the N76 to a primary road is not appropriate?

TML will mainly focus on the fifth question.
