Damage has been detected on the movable roadway section of the Oude Scheldebrug between Bornem and Temse. The Vlaamse Waterweg began emergency repairs early on 2025-06-13 08:46:00 to address the issue and ensure safety for commuters. This vital bridge is a key route for daily traffic in the region.
- Schade vastgesteld aan beweegbaar wegdek

During the repair work, traffic is being directed alternately over a single lane, causing short delays. Drivers should expect some inconvenience as the temporary fix is set to last until 7 a.m., but traffic disruptions will continue for several weeks afterward. How will this affect your daily commute?
With such essential infrastructure under strain, what steps can authorities take to minimise long-term impact? Here’s what you need to know about the current situation and what lies ahead.
Is this repair enough to restore smooth traffic flow quickly? While the immediate emergency work reduces risk, the extended disruption highlights the bridge’s critical role and the challenges of maintaining ageing infrastructure.
- Single-lane traffic leads to short wait times during peak hours.
- Emergency repairs are temporary; full restoration will take weeks.
- Local commuters and freight transport should plan alternative routes.
Stay informed about updates from Vlaamse Waterweg and consider adjusting your route until repairs are fully completed. How can better infrastructure planning prevent such disruptions in the future? For now, patience and preparation remain key.
