Traffic disruptions in Brussels caused significant delays this morning, with the Rogiertunnel temporarily closed following an accident. The incident, occurring around 2025-05-15 09:45:00, affected motorists heading southbound, causing congestion across key routes.
- De Rogiertunnel tijdelijk afgesloten na ongeval
- Defect voertuig blokkeert linkerrijstrook Annie Cordytunnel
- Verkeer staat tot anderhalf uur vast
- Rechterrijstrook Keizer Karellaan versperd door hulpdiensten

Compounding the situation, a broken-down vehicle blocked the left lane in the Annie Cordytunnel, also southbound. This led to traffic jams lasting up to an hour and a half, especially from the Keizer Karellaan area. Emergency services were actively managing the scene, including an intervention on the right lane of Keizer Karellaan near Steenweg op Zellik towards the city center.
Although the Rogiertunnel has since reopened, drivers are advised to avoid the affected zones if possible. What alternative routes can commuters take to minimize delays? And how might these incidents impact rush hour traffic further?
