work causes small traffic jams in some places.

Due to an accident on the E34 in Oelegem, there was another long traffic jam in the direction of Antwerp on Wednesday morning. Two trucks were involved in a rear-end collision. No one was injured. From March to early 2023, a new bridge will be built over the E313 at the Wijnegemsteenweg in Wommelgem. Until the end of May, traffic on the E313 will drive in both directions over 3 narrowed lanes. Towards Antwerp there is therefore often a traffic jam from Oelegem (Ranst). In the direction of Hasselt, the rush hour lane, a fourth lane, is open at peak times. Keep in mind that the narrowed passage leads to delays at busy times.

The new bridge that will take its place will be raised. As a result, the intersection of Wijnegemsteenweg and Koralenhoeve must also be adapted and raised. The works will start on 2 May and will last about a month.

better stay away

The work is causing minor traffic jams in some areas, especially where drivers do not follow the detour. The Flemish Traffic Center also has contact with traffic centers in our neighboring countries. There too, they were asked to remind residents that it will be difficult to drive in Antwerp in the direction of the Netherlands.
