The accident with a motorcyclist happened around 5 p.m. on the E40 towards the interior. There is a traffic jam from Beernem to Aalter. Also from Jabbeke to Bruges it is already queuing.
Especially the many day trippers have to take into account a lot of traffic nuisance. The Flemish Traffic Center advises traffic in the direction of Antwerp to take the A11 in Bruges. This way they can still get to their destination via the E34. This route is also an option towards Ghent. The alternative is to take the E403 in Bruges in the direction of Kortrijk, and then take the E17 to Ghent.
