The works in phase 3A in Veltem are experiencing a limited delay. Necessary adjustments to the concrete work have led to a rescheduling of the plans.

The construction activities in phase 3A in Veltem are facing a minor delay. Following the pouring of the kerbstones and flat edge strips, some adjustments were found to be necessary. To ensure the expected quality and durability, the already poured concrete has been removed.
Consequently, new concrete will be poured on Tuesday, October 6th. This will shift the subsequent planning, meaning the installation of the cobblestones cannot commence on Monday, October 5th, but will instead start on Thursday, October 8th.
The contractor and municipal services are closely monitoring the situation. They are making every effort to minimize the impact on the overall timeline of the works. Despite these adjustments, the delay remains limited, and work continues towards completing the project on schedule.
The municipality of Herent thanks residents and road users in advance for their understanding and patience during this phase of the construction.
