Passage to Vichte
What is still missing is the passage to Vichte, who start working from Tuesday. By the summer holidays, that phase must also be completed, says Dirk Vanhuyse of Roads and Traffic Agency: “We can say that everything went according to plan. We now hope that for the final phase, here between the crossroads Belgium and Carrefour Market, we can also stand those works against the summer leave.
More safety
One of the crucial points is the bypass that was laid out at the start of the works so that the traffic of the industrial site no longer has to be over the Belgium to get to the E17. But the neighborhood also sees a problem there: “That is more dangerous there. I don’t know what they will do about it. The cyclist drives on the profession and the vans have to hit the new bypass. They will also have to do something there,” says Eric Deconinck
Jo Tijtgat, ships of mobility in Deerlijk, sees that safety is improving, especially for cyclists. Although that was a long -term work, longer than the two years that the works now take: “I can tell you that I have already been ships in a past and that I have experienced the first preparations. We are now 15 years later.”
