Riga metro station

Riga is a planned Brussels Metro station on line 3, between Tilleul/Linde and Verboekhoven.[1] Its entrance will be on the Avenue Huart Hamoir/Huart Hamoirlaan.[2]

The station's design had to be changed after complaints from residents.[3] The new northern section of line 3, which includes the station, is the most difficult part of the construction project. Completion could take ten years.[4] In June 2023, Beliris asked for help from the Belgian Government, following a series of delays and cost overruns.[5] As of December 2022, construction of the new line was expected to be complete in 2032.
