Zeebrugge to benefit from new rail infrastructure

Port of Zeebrugge report that Infrabel is investing millions of Euro to renew the existing railway infrastructure leading to the port of Zeebrugge. The optimization of the track changes in Dudzele will benefit the port of Zeebrugge’s accessibility for railway cargo.

Thirty-eight thousand trains passed the railway switch located in Dudzele, about ten kilometres from the port, in 2019. This crucial point is where the railway line 51 is divided into line 51A and 51B, thus separating rail freight traffic for the Port of Zeebrugge from passenger transport towards the Belgian Coast. The most important part of the planned infrastructural works is the placement of 5 new track changes, which are over 100 meters long.
