There was heavy congestion across Brussels on Monday morning due to delayed roadworks at multiple locations and on Tuesday the chaos continues, albeit to a lesser extent.
At the Leonard Tunnel, where the E411 motorway and the Brussels Ring Road meet in Tervuren, commuters should expect an extra 30 minutes when travelling towards Zaventem; the journey between Wezembeek-Oppem and Tervuren towards Waterloo will take an additional 10 minutes; and travelling from Namur via the E411 between Overijse and Leonard will take 20 minutes longer than usual.
Long queues on the E40 add around 30 minutes to journeys from the direction of Ostend. Commuters on the E40 to Brussels from Liège between Haasrode and Heverlee can also expect 30 minutes of delays.
Shorter delays of between five and 15 minutes can be expected at various points on the inner ring road: between Haut-Ittre and Halle, Dilbeek and Jette, Expo and Machelen and Strombeek-Bever and Jette. The Reyers-Montgomery Tunnel has closed temporarily due to a car breaking down.
"The situation is much better than it was yesterday," Inge Paumen, spokesperson for Brussels Mobility, told The Brussels Times. Multiple roadworks scheduled for French-speaking holidays were extended by two weeks from Monday, resulting in unprecedented delays across the capital.
