09:10 The tunnels open to traffic once more
The slowdowns are quite limited this morning towards Brussels: 5 minutes lost on the E40 coming from Liège and less than 5 minutes at the end of the E411 coming from Namur.
However, 10 minutes were lost in the works leaving Daussoulx.
Almost fluid traffic on the Brussels outer ring road between Waterloo and Carrefour Léonard.
Indoors, you slow down for 15 minutes between Expo and Machelen in the direction of Zaventem.
In Brussels, good news, the Rogier and Botanique Tunnels are reopened towards the south.
08:43 Slowdowns in Namur, Liège and Charleroi
Some problems accessing Namur this morning whether you are coming from the Nationale 4 (+ 25 min) or the Nationale 91 (+30 min) or even the Nationale 92 coming from Dinant (+ 15 min).
In Liège, you slow down for 10 minutes on the E25 between Wandre and Bressoux in the direction of Liège.
In Charleroi, slowdowns are also very present on the Nationale 5 between Tarcienne and Couillet where you lose 25 minutes in the direction of Charleroi.
08:19 Tunnels closed in Brussels
A vehicle with a broken basket caused the closure of the Rogier and Botanique tunnels towards the Midi, the Brussels Mobility regional agency announced this Friday morning. Around 8:00 a.m., long lines were seen from the Koekelberg Basilica following this incident.
The travel time is extended by almost half an hour between Basilica and Madou due to the traffic jams caused by these closures, specifies Brussels Mobility. “The surface lights have been modified between Yser and Madou to increase capacity, and reduced at Basilique to slow down entry into the city,” Camille Thiry, spokesperson for Brussels Mobility, told Belga.
The tunnels will be able to reopen as soon as the vehicle is repaired.
08:10 Update on the roads
Good news in Brussels: The accident in the Strombeek-Bever interchange between the outer ring and the A12 has been cleared.
On the other hand, some traffic problems in the center with the Rogier and Botanique Tunnels which are still closed towards the south.
Small point around Brussels with the queues still the longest on the E429 Tournai – Brussels with 15 minutes lost between Tubize and the Ring in Halle. 15 minutes also on the E19 coming from Antwerp from the Puisie car park.
5 minutes on the inner ring between Grand-Bigard and Jette then 10 minutes between Strombeek-Bever and Machelen.
5 minutes between Groenendaal and Carrefour Léonard and towards Zaventem.
The lines are therefore quite small this morning with 165 km of lines accumulated on our road network. However, you will be reminded to be very careful because the warning for slippery conditions is still in effect until 1 p.m.
08:00 The situation in transport
The TEC announces the resumption of numerous bus lines following two days of disruptions on the Walloon public transport network. On the SNCB side, delays and cancellations remain possible due to winter conditions.
If all lines are running once more in the province of Luxembourg, the situation is more contrasted in the province of Namur, where around fifty buses are not running this Friday morning while all the other lines are experiencing diversions.
In the province of Liège, around forty lines are interrupted and most of the others also face diversions.
In the Charleroi region, there are around fifteen buses in circulation, while the metro continues to run. In the rest of Hainaut, most of the lines remain at a standstill in Mons-Borinage and in the Center, with diversions on other lines in circulation. In western Hainaut, stops remain limited, but deviations are still numerous.
On the SNCB side, the disruptions are more limited. Trains are running at reduced speed on the Kortrijk-Zottegem line, a train broke down between Mechelen and Zaventem and a switch broke down between Tongeren and Hasselt: all incidents which can lead to delays and cancellations.
07:35 Situation still calm this morning
An accident has been reported in the interchange between the Brussels ring road and the A12 coming from Antwerp near Strombeek-Bever. The ramp would be closed when coming from Antwerp.
Good news: The accident on the E40 Brussels-Liège near the Tirlemont car park has been cleared in the direction of Liège.
Only a few usual queues observed:
Between Groenendaal and Carrefour Léonard but it is very small just like on the E411 just before Carrefour Léonard.
5 minutes lost in the works between Eghezée and the Aire d’Aische-en-Refail.
Now 10 minutes (these are the longest lines) on the E429 between Tubize and Hal.
Be careful of possible patches of ice. Take care and have a good trip.
07:30 Public transport is running generally
The trains are experiencing some delays this morning, but nothing alarming. As for buses and trams, they run through Brussels.
In Wallonia, the TEC lines might still be diverted in places, especially in Luxembourg where cancellations are expected. Find out in real time on the TEC website if you have to take the bus this morning.
07:10 Be careful, ghost driver on N4 towards Namur
Attention ! Motorists traveling on the national 4 Luxembourg-Arlon-Namur-Brussels towards Namur risk encountering a phantom driver near Marche en Famenne. Do not exceed and tighten to the right.
A traffic that has nothing to compare with that of yesterday. We still remain in a heightened vigilance phase and we will be wary this morning of patches of ice or hard snow, or even freezing fog in places.
Two accidents occurred on the E40 near Tienen, one in each direction. There remains only the one in the direction of Liège near the Tirlemont car park. Traffic is driven through the emergency lane.
A few queues are observed between Tirlemont and the Aire de Hélécine. We’re talking regarding less than 5 minutes.
6 minutes of usual queues on the Brussels inner ring road between Strombeek-Bever and Machelen and on the E429 Tournai-Brussels between Tubize and Halle.
In Brussels, the closure of the Rogier and Botanique tunnels towards the South is reported.
06:34 Two accidents on the E40 Brussels-Liège
An accident occurred on the E40 Brussels-Liège near the Tirlemont car park in the direction of Liège. The passage would be difficult and traffic is done via the emergency lane. Another accident also occurred in the other direction towards Brussels near the Tirlemont access.
Still on this E40, a truck has broken down near Barchon in the direction of Aix-la-Chapelle. it is in the right-wing band.
06:17 Yellow alert for slippery conditions
The yellow alert for slippery conditions issued by the IRM remains in effect until 1 p.m. You will always have to be wary of patches of ice or hard snow on the roads or freezing fog in places.
In Wallonia, we are in a heightened vigilance phase and no longer in an alert phase. Traffic conditions are therefore better, but you must remain cautious, especially on the secondary network.
