We announced it to you a few days ago: the E40 is likely to experience major traffic jams from this month, and until mid-October. This morning, on the highway, the queues were indeed substantial. The reason: works near Bertem (Flemish Brabant), just following the junction between the E40 and the E314 in Heverlee.
Traffic from Liège is on a single lane instead of two. During the morning rush hour, the Flemish Roads and Traffic Agency predicts traffic jams in the direction of Brussels as far as Boutersem or Tirlemont. In the direction of Liège, motorists travel on three narrow lanes. Slowdowns as far as Everberg or Sterrebeek are also to be expected during the evening rush hour.
The construction site concerns the installation of new anti-noise walls From Thursday August 4 in the morning to Sunday August 7 in the evening, exit 22 Bertem will be closed to allow the entry and exit of materials from the site. Traffic will be diverted.
