Breakthrough Victory: Walloon Region Triumphs in Tihange-Tinlot Liaison Case After 20-Year Standstill

2023-07-19 11:07:00

A dramatic change in the Tihange-Tinlot liaison file: following 20 years of blockage, the Walloon Region, via the Liège building acquisition committee (CAI), finally won its case on July 17 before the court of first instance. This in order to carry out the last expropriations necessary for phase 3 of the construction site. “Three operators blocked the whole fileinforms Pierre Paulus, parliamentary attaché for Ecolo deputies Samuel Cogolati and Rodrigue Demeuse, who have been defending the project tooth and nail for years. They have therefore just been dismissed by the court.

Excellent news for Rodrigue Demeuse. “It’s a decisive step forward in this file that has dragged on for too long, he said. However, as we know, this is a fundamental project for the whole of the district of Huy-Waremme and the economic development of Condroz. It is also an essential file for the city center of Huy, which is subject to enormous traffic, in particular trucks, and whose redevelopment goes hand in hand with the completion of the Tihange-Tinlot link.

And now ?

All of the expropriations will therefore now be able to materialize, “with taking possession of the rights-of-way planned for the beginning of Septemberadds the parliamentary attaché. This is the final step necessary to start the work, which concerns both the end of phases 1 and 2 and the completion of phase 3.” The latter concerns obtaining the new planning permission, which is currently in the hands of the delegated civil servant.

Rodrigue Demeuse also questioned the Walloon Minister for Regional Planning, Willy Borsus, and insisted that this last part be completed as soon as possible. “The permit was announced for mid-July, I am counting on the will of the Minister to hold this deadline as much as possible in order to be able to launch the works in the wake of obtaining the land in September. The way is now more open than never to finally complete this project!”
