If everything goes normally, the planned works on the N58 will start at the beginning of March. According to Mayor Youro Casier of Wervik, they are much needed, because a lot of accidents have happened in recent years, sometimes with a fatal outcome.
The file has been dragging on for almost 15 years. “The N58 is being doubled between the A19 and the second Rondpunt with the N338. The roundabout between Geluwe and Menen is being replaced by a crossroads with lights and pre -sorting strips. And there are also two bicycle tunnels to have cyclists spend the N58 in a safe way You can of course ask you, the works used to be that this accident could have been avoided, “says Mayor Casier.
According to the mayor, the works would last 2 years. And so the traffic on the N58 must be a lot safer.
