FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS--The construction of an underground rail link:
In October 2007 work has started on the construction of an underground rail link between the train station at the airport and the new railway line Schaarbeek - Mechelen that is to be constructed on the central reservation of the E19 motorway. Travelers from the Antwerp - Mechelen region will be able to travel non-stop to the airport without the inconvenience of first having to pass through Brussels. This new link requires major construction works, including the boring of two tunnels under the runway, and will be taken into service in 2012.
