The E411 will be closed in both directions from Saturday July 5 8 p.m. to Sunday July 6 9 a.m.
E411 and its disturbances
Departure from Brussels, therefore, to join France by Arlon. First project before even joining the E411: the renovation of rue Jules Cockx and the Pont du Métro Delta. There, the highway is reduced to a track in the two directions until the end of August 2025. Then comes the Léonard crossroads which, as usual, offers only a traffic band towards Brussels until 2026. We are therefore not concerned. But no need to rejoice too quickly because another project a few steps from the Léonard tunnels awaits us. This week, the Flemish authorities destroy the highway bridge that spans the E411 in Jezus-Eik. Instead, two new structures will be built for motorized traffic and for cyclists and pedestrians. “”According to current planning, the bridge will be ready to be used from spring 2026 “, Specifies the Wegen agents in Verkeer (AWV), in charge of the work. But no need to consider borrowing this highway from July 5 to July 6 to July 6. 9 a.m. It will be completely closed, in both directions.
A solution offered for motorists passing through the Leonard crossroads makes teeth cringe.
We can deliver to already be on the E411, thus escaping the consequences of the sites of several access straps to the highway (n ° 4 “Genval” in particular), until July 11. Note that “Reporting work between interchange n ° 6 ‘wavre’ and n ° 5 ‘bierges’ are programmed, only towards Brussels, from August 11, and will end for the start of the school year at the latest”, informs Héloïse Winandy. It will be a problem to manage on the return from vacation, while circulation will take place on two bands, with a maximum speed limited to 70 km/h.
Arrived near the Mont-St-Guibert crossroads, two sites await us. The first, upstream of the crossroads, is the implementation of an acoustic merlon, an earth mound designed to reduce noise pollution, along the highway. “The emergency stop band will be released for the first half of September “specifies Héloïse Winandy, while confirming that the speed is limited to 70 km/h up to Louvrange. Then, at the Mont-St-Guibert crossroads this time, where the E411 and the N25/N4 intersect, the number of accessible tracks is reduced and the speed is limited to 50 km/h until spring 2026.
“It will directly impact Walloon commuters who have returned to Brussels since E411”, will the Herrmann-Debroux viaduct be demolished?
At the end of our sorrows, a major project finally ends between Dhuy and Aische-en-Refaille. Where traffic to Brussels is carried out on two lanes instead of three, with a maximum speed still limited to 70 km/h. “”Disturbance which should be resolved from July 11, while traffic is already normal to Namur “still completes Héloïse Winandy. Before arriving at Arlon, you must finally deal with a slowdown at 70 km/h between Achêne and Assess and a reduction in the number of lanes available. Coating and concrete repairs take place. With an end date scheduled for July 11. The first weekend of departure on vacation promises to be disturbed.
Not enough breaks on the road?
Alarming. While the Belgians are preparing to take the assault roads for the holidays, almost three -quarters of them admit to neglect the fact of taking a break every two hours. One in five even admits to avoid breaks by driving more than five hours. These data, issued by a survey by the Walloon Road Safety Agency (AWSR), support the launch this week of a new awareness campaign on social networks. The stake? Avoid driving driving. “”A break of at least fifteen minutes every two hours is recommended to recover “, Recommended the agency, adding that “Sleeping a few hours in his car on a rest area is also a possibility in the event of too large fatigue. “
