In Kortrijk, the city council had already taken some preventive measures on Tuesday evening. For example, the towpath was closed to all traffic between Bissegem and Kortrijk. The night did not result in any exceedances of the alarm level in Kortrijk.
That’s different downstream. At the lock between Sint-Eloois-Vijve and Sint-Baafs-Vijve, the water level of the Leie exceeded the historical maximum and also above the alarm level of just under 9 meters.
