The N29 is a national road in Belgium that runs southeast from Beringen (Limburg) through towns including Diest, Tienen, Jodoigne, and Gembloux, before ending at Charleroi in Hainaut. It crosses four provinces and serves as an important regional connector. [1] [2]
Starting in Beringen (Limburg), the N29 heads southeast, passing through Diest. It enters Flemish Brabant east of Tienen, passing through Glabbeek and Bekkevoort, where significant reconstruction work was carried out between Bekkevoort and Kortenaken. [3] The route continues through Jodoigne and Gembloux, entering Hainaut province and descending to terminate in Charleroi, connecting with the N90 arterial network. [4]
The N29 carries substantial commuter and regional traffic, especially near Tienen, where speed-control cameras are active. In 2025, Vlaams flitspalen data recorded fixed camera placements at kilometre markers 36.99 and 55.1 on the N29 in Tienen municipality. [5]
Between Kortenaken and Bekkevoort, the road underwent major renovations from 2020 to 2021. The projects included full pavement replacement, separated cycle lanes, improved junction lighting at Klipgaardestraat/Halensebaan, and the installation of a new underpass beneath the Bansbroekbeek stream. [6]
