According to the Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer (AWV), the lighting in the Zelzatetunnel needs urgent replacement. As of 2025-04-23 14:42:00, the old sodium lamps are no longer manufactured and cannot be replaced if they malfunction. This situation raises safety concerns for drivers.
- Agentschap Wegen en Verkeer announces lighting replacement.
- Old sodium lamps are no longer produced.
- Defective lamps cannot be replaced anymore.
- AWV transitions to energy-efficient LED lighting.
- LED lights require less maintenance and energy.
Why is the Zelzatetunnel’s lighting upgrade important for Belgian drivers?
The transition from outdated sodium lamps to modern LED technology in the Zelzatetunnel is crucial for several reasons:
- Improved visibility enhances driver safety.
- LEDs consume less energy, promoting sustainability.
- Reduced maintenance leads to fewer disruptions on busy routes.
The shift to LED lighting in the Zelzatetunnel not only improves safety but also aligns with Belgium’s broader environmental goals. Stay tuned for updates on this essential project that benefits all commuters!
