The start of the Ascension weekend has prompted significant traffic issues in Belgium on Thursday.
The traffic is particularly bad around Antwerp and towards the Belgian coast.
Drivers on the E40 from Brussels to the coast are experiencing an additional 30 minutes of travel time, according to the Flemish Traffic Centre, Vlaams Verkeerscentrum.
The Traffic Centre also reports traffic jams on the E19 near the Dutch border, affecting both directions.
