A tree fell on the road at Hal, on the outer ring of Brussels, this morning. This caused many traffic jams, especially in the direction of France. Cars can currently only use one lane.
“At the start, three lanes were blocked,” explains Peter Bruyninckx, from the Flemish Mobility Centre. “The passage remains difficult, all traffic has to use a single lane, which constitutes a serious bottleneck”.
Firefighters are on site to remove the tree. They also have to free a truck that got stuck on the median because of the mud, trying to avoid the fallen tree.
The Mobility center asks people to avoid the area. There are currently six kilometers in line.
