Some entrances and exits on the E314 were closed due to water damage. Most expressways are perfectly acceptable. For traffic back, there is a traffic jam on E411 Luxembourg – Namur for an hour. The VAB recommends avoiding local roads in the provinces of Liege and Luxembourg and prioritizing emergency services. Many areas and streets are still inaccessible for VAB Road Service.
