The N35 is a national road in West Flanders, Belgium, running west–east between Diksmuide and De Panne, passing through Kortemark, Veurne, Koksijde, and De Panne. It serves both as a commuter route and a coastal connector.
Route
The road begins at a junction with the N369 near Diksmuide and travels southeast along the Tieltsesteenweg, passing through Kortemark (where major asphalting took place in April–May 2024). It continues through Veurne and Koksijde, terminating at the Sportlaan roundabout in De Panne.[1][2]
The N35 is heavily trafficked by commuters and cyclists. Upgraded bicycle paths in Veurne and De Panne aim to improve safety for vulnerable users.[3][4]
History
In Veurne and De Panne, a €9 million reconstruction project (2003–2024) involved complete roadbed renewal—including separated bicycle paths, a ventweg, upgraded drainage, and LED lighting; the updated N35 reopened mid-2024.[5][6]
Additionally, the section between Tielt and Diksmuide is undergoing a major upgrade (from 2024 to 2025) to add separated cycle lanes, accessible bus stops, full asphalt surfacing, and improved drainage.[7]
