N7 road (Belgium)
Road in Belgium
The N7 is a national route in Belgium that connects Halle, just southwest of Brussels, with Tournai and the border with France.[1]
The road is one of the 9 major national routes in Belgium, but the only one that does not start in Brussels. The start of the N7 is at an intersection with the N6 in the Flemish city Halle, 19 km (12 mi) southeast of Brussels. The route starts running west and crosses the E429 highway before entering Wallonia. The route goes to the city of Enghien where it crosses the E429 highway again. The N7 goes southwest and continue straight to the midsized city Ath in central Hainaut Province. After passing Leuze-en-Hainaut and the E42 highway, the N7 reaches the major city and border town Tournai. The road ends at the French border near the village of Hertain where it continues as the D941 to Lille.
The N7 crosses 8 municipalities. 1 in Flemish Brabant, 2 in Walloon Brabant and 7 in Hainaut. A full list of municipalities can be found below. Major municipalities are in bold.[2]
