In addition, three lifting operations are scheduled. These lifting operations will take up nearly the entire day.
Lifting Operation 1
During the first lifting operation on March 8, 2024, the Boulevard promenade will be closed off at the front of the Vrijhof adjacent to the promenade. On this day, no one can use the promenade. However, the two entrances from the Vrijhof (from the promenade) will remain accessible. See photo 2.

Lifting Operations 2 and 3
These lifting operations will take place on 8 April and 26 April 2024.
During these lifting movements, the crane will be positioned next to the Bastille, and the promenade will be 'normally' accessible. Note: the promenade will not be accessible to the right along the Bastille. If necessary, the crane may be relocated to an additional setup. See photo 3.
