The Flemish Traffic Center announced that because of the massive crowds Ostend was closed to incoming traffic. Traffic was possible up to the Vuurruitenplein, near the Mercator.
The traffic jam between Nevele and Loppem on the E40 towards the coast continues, with a 30 -minute delay. For that reason, the football match between Club Brugge and AA Gent has been postponed with 15 minutes. The Ghent players arrived too late at Jan Breydel. In this way, spectators also have extra time to reach the stadium. After more than half an hour, that measure was rejected. After all, the biggest peak seems to be over. “The situation has improved, but of course we will remain ready on the site,” said police spokesman Simon Fiers.
Earlier today it was also joining the E403 towards Bruges and on the E34 towards Knokke.
