• The N277 Nieuwelaan in the town of Meise is a
  secondary road consisting of two lanes and
  emergency lanes on both sides.
• The two traffic lanes and one of the shoulders
  were built in 1952.
• Other parts of the hard shoulder date from 1966
  and 1972.
• It is a typical plain concrete pavement for the
  period 1950-1970 with slab lengths between 10 and
  15 m and transverse expansion joints between the
  slabs.
• This road is still in a good condition after more
  than 50 years of service.
