The N8 near Alveringem The N8 road in Belgium is a road connecting Brussels and Koksijde , passing Ninove , Oudenaarde , Kortrijk , Ypres and Veurne .[ 1]
The N8 is the old road from Brussels to the coast. Most sections have been replaced by motorways , and only serve a regional purpose, except for the A19 [nl ] which was supposed to go from Kortrijk to the coast, but which ends at Ypres . In 2012, the extension was permanently cancelled.[ 2]
The road is one of the 9 major national routes in Belgium . The start is in the Belgian capital Brussels at the inner ring road. The road goes west, passing the Brussels Ring R0 in Dilbeek , where it enters the province of Flemish Brabant . Continuing further west, the road enters East Flanders near the midsized city Ninove . After passing the larger city of Oudenaarde and entering West Flanders , the N8 crosses the E17 highway at the major city Kortrijk . The road turns northwest to traverse the Westhoek region , passing the city of Ypres end ending at the coast in Koksijde . The N8 has a length of 152km (95mi).
The N8 crosses 28 municipalities. 3 in the Brussels Capital Region , 3 in Flemish Brabant , 9 in East Flanders and 13 in West Flanders . A full list of municipalities[ 3] bold.
