Starting 2025-05-21 19:02:00, motorists coming from Ieper on the A19 or Bruges via the E403, who usually take the southern exit at Gullegem-Moorsele, will need to follow a detour. This reroute directs traffic through Moorsele interchange, the E403, Aalbeke interchange, E17, and several local roads before rejoining the A19 at the northern exit of Gullegem.
How will these changes affect local traffic patterns? And what alternative routes can drivers expect? Understanding the detour options is key to navigating the area smoothly during the closure period.
These traffic adjustments raise important questions about congestion and travel time. Will the detours cause significant delays, or will the alternate routes ease pressure on local roads? Key points to consider include:
- Detours reroute traffic via major interchanges like Moorsele and Aalbeke to maintain flow.
- Local drivers from Gullegemstraat heading to Kortrijk must use the northern ramps and loops around Moorsele.
- Commuters should expect longer travel times and plan accordingly, especially during peak hours.
As the closure period extends into late summer, staying informed and adjusting travel plans will help minimise disruption. Drivers are encouraged to monitor local traffic updates and explore public transport options where possible.
