    This canal has been connecting Leuven with the Dijle since 1753. Ten years after its opening, shipping began to flourish and traffic would continue to grow until after the First World War, when it steadily declined for several decades. However, targeted investments from 1996 onwards led to a clear change: today, around 250,000 tonnes of goods pass along the canal every year and it also plays a role in regional development and innovative projects, for example in remote control and the transport of containers, waste and building materials by barge.
