Marshal Montgomery Square (Template:Lang-fr, Template:Lang-nl), usually shortened to Montgomery Square, is a major intersection in the eastern municipality of Woluwe-Saint-Pierre of Brussels, Belgium. It is named in honour of Field Marshal Bernard Montgomery.[1] It is situated on the intersection of Avenue de Tervueren/Tervurenlaan, Boulevard Brand Whitlock/Brand Whitlocklaan and Boulevard Saint-Michel/Sint-Michielslaan.
Below the square, Montgomery metro station serves as the first station on the eastern branch of line 1 of the Brussels metro, The station is also a stop for trams 7, 25, 39 and 44, while tram 81 and various STIB/MIVB bus services stop at surface level.
Description
At surface level, the traffic intersection takes the form of a multi-lane roundabout. Traffic not turning is routed through two tunnels: the Tervuren Tunnel takes vehicles travelling on Avenue de Tervueren/Tervurenlaan under the junction, while traffic on the greater ring (Boulevard Brand Whitlock/Brand Whitlocklaan and Boulevard Saint-Michel/Sint-Michielslaan) is routed away from the intersection via the Montgomery Tunnel.
The centre of the roundabout is occupied by a large fountain, while a statue of Montgomery stands on Avenue de Tervueren facing it.[1]
