During the activities, the police establish a security perimeter of 500 meters on the beach and in the dunes for a few hours. Possible disruption to tram and car traffic is also possible along the Blankenbergse Steenweg.
“At Elia, safety remains our top priority,” says Lotte Van der Stock, responsible for Environmental Communications. “The presence of old sea mines from the Second World War poses a risk to future works on cable connections from Princess Elisabeth Island. It is therefore essential that we, together with DOVO, remove these explosives in the most careful manner.”
