Antwerp (Eurotoday): A sinkhole near the Sportpaleis on the Antwerp Ring caused big traffic delays. Repairs were done quickly, but traffic jams were still there, with ongoing warnings of icy roads in the area.
On the Antwerp Ring road towards the Netherlands, a subsidence near the Sportpaleis caused major traffic delays, with only one lane open for a while. This led to long traffic jams that extended back towards the North, affecting the entire area. The repair team struggled to reach the site but managed to fix the issue quickly, clearing the road just twenty minutes after they arrived.
How is the traffic situation on the Antwerp Ring after recent delays and icy conditions?
The four lanes at the Sportpaleis exit are clear again, so there’s no more traffic problem. However, the traffic jams that build up will still cause delays. The Antwerp Ring is better now, but there’s still slow traffic on the E17 from Ghent to Antwerp because of a truck accident at Haasrode. The Flemish Traffic Centre is telling people to avoid driving towards Antwerp if it’s not urgent, as it might take up to two hours longer. After a week of traffic jams from slippery roads and bad weather, this is not what anyone wants.
KMI warns of slippery roads in Antwerp, Limburg, Flemish Brabant, and Brussels, with icy patches possible. It has been said that drivers traveling between Hasselt and Ghent should consider a detour through Brussels. The R2 route via the Antwerp port area is also an option but is expected to be busy. If people still driving toward Antwerp they should followblank” rel=”noopener”> the diversions.
