In 2010, Beliris commissioned a study into the route, with approximately and 7 stations. The plan was approved in 2013, with construction scheduled to start in 2018 and the first metros running in 2022. Beliris is responsible for building the northern part of the route, and STIB is building the rest. In June 2023, Beliris asked for help from the Federal Government of Belgium, Belgian G ...
