What is this remarkable construction along the Turnhoutsebaan N127 in Diest (Belgium)?

For several weeks, a remarkable project has steadily been taking shape along the Turnhoutsebaan in Diest. An almost 5-metre high retaining wall is being erected along the new road by the BESIX Infra team. We wonder why it is being built there and how it got its remarkable colour and relief.

The story

Integrated into the landscape

And now?

The team is working from now until mid-March on the final finishing touches, such as foundation and concreting works. From mid-February, the intersection of Turnhoutsebaan (N127) and Citadellaan (R26) will be tackled. By the end of April, the works will be fully completed and the Turnhoutsebaan will be open to all traffic again.
