Major Brussels tunnel close

An important and busy artery in Brussels, the Montgomery tunnel is closed immediately to all traffic.

The tunnel is located in the east of the Belgian capital and is important to get in some parts of Brussels. Last week were found dust in the tunnel which may indicate possible problems with the ceiling. After an inspection, the advice was to close the tunnel.

The state of the Brussels road tunnels is substandard. So was there a piece of ceiling down and another tunnel least a year closed for renovation. The tunnels are very important to manage the traffic somewhat well by Brussels, or hit the city quickly clogged by traffic jams.

Montgomery Tunnel was built in 1971 and is 525 meters long.
