The Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV) has announced that the works on the bridge at Zeelaan and Prins Boudewijnlaan (N9), a crucial connection between Maldegem and Eeklo, will take longer than initially scheduled. The project, which started in May 2026, was set to finish in December 2026, but AWV now anticipates reopening the bridge by mid-March 2027.
The municipality of Maldegem expresses regret over the delay. 'We understand this is particularly inconvenient for residents, businesses, and other road users who regularly use this important link,' stated the council. They emphasize their commitment to closely monitoring the situation and urging efforts to minimize the delay.
The current traffic measures and diversions remain in effect. Further information can be found on the websites of the municipality of Maldegem and the Agency for Roads and Traffic.
