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 Most sections have been replaced by motorways, and only serve a regional purpose, except for the A19 [nl] which was supposed to go from Kortrijk to the coast, but which ends at Ypres.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] can be found below. Major municipalities are in bold.
