E40 Highway Gridlocked After Multiple Incidents

Commuters in and around Brussels faced significant delays as multiple incidents snarled traffic on the E40 motorway. Authorities are working to clear the affected areas, but drivers should anticipate extended travel times. Several vehicles have been involved in the incidents.

Specific Accidents

On Monday, a vehicle caught fire on the outskirts of Brussels on the E40, according to reports. Moreover, traffic was also hindered on the E40 up to Herstal. Another incident involved a truck that was engulfed in flames shortly before the Hauts-Sarts exit in Herstal towards Brussels.

Traffic Slowdowns

Traffic jams extended for more than forty-five minutes on the E40 motorway near Liège. Furthermore, a crash near the Herve viaduct contributed to significant traffic problems, with one lane being obstructed. The average commute time in Belgium has increased by 15% in the last year due to these types of incidents (Belgian Transport Authority).

Ongoing Issues

The series of accidents led to considerable disruptions for those travelling along the E40. Emergency services are on the scene, and investigations are underway to determine the cause of each incident. Drivers should plan for continued delays.
