Kaboutertunnel
Ghent’s lowest tunnel (with a height of just 1.67 metres) has been frequently used by pedestrians and cyclists for many years. In 2022, architecture firm URA gave it a makeover.
A remarkable metal awning has turned the passage into a real eye-catcher. The artwork consists of a single curved steel plate with a thickness of 15 millimetres. The structure weighs slightly over 2 tonnes and was made in the Melens-Dejardin workshops. A new floor and bright colours have really livened up the place.
