The Belliard tunnel in Brussels, which closed on Tuesday morning due to a water pipe failure, will only remain open until 8:00 PM Tuesday when works will resume.
The tunnel was reopened at 4:00 PM for the peak hours, after negotiations with the fire brigade and the implementation of compensatory measures, said Camille Thiry, spokesperson for Brussels Mobility.
Om een verkeerschaos te vermijden, zal de tunnel tijdens de spitsuren (16 – 20u en 6 – 10u) opengesteld worden, maar daarbuiten afgesloten worden voor de reparatie van het lek. [2/3]

The tunnel was closed due to a significant leak leading to concerns over the integrity of the network behind the walls, Belga reports.
Renovation works to the Belliard tunnel are planned soon.
