“Herstal Viaduct Repair Updates: Nightly Lane Closures and Speed Limits”

2023-05-18 15:34:09

The first two night interventions will take place from this Sunday to this Tuesday and will require 2 lanes to be withdrawn from traffic. On the other hand, during the day, all the lanes will remain accessible, always with a maximum speed limited to 50 km/h pending the complete repair of the joint.

These repairs are carried out only at night to impact users as little as possible. Following these operations, on the E40/A3 motorway, near the Herstal viaduct, towards Brussels:

This Sunday, May 21:

From 6 p.m., one lane will be closed to traffic;

From 9:30 p.m. until Monday May 22 at 5 a.m., a second lane will be closed to traffic;

As during the day, the speed will remain limited to 50 km/h in the zone.

From Monday May 22 at 9:30 p.m. to Tuesday May 23 at 5 a.m.:

Two lanes will be withdrawn from traffic;

As during the day, the speed will remain limited to 50 km/h in the zone.

During the day, during the works, the three lanes will remain accessible with a speed limit of 50 km/h.

The rest of the intervention schedule will be communicated next week. About 10 nights in total are required.

Damage

As a reminder, following damage that appeared at the level of an expansion joint of the Herstal viaduct, supporting the E40/A3 towards Brussels, a temporary joint was placed the night of May 4 to 5 above the deteriorated joint. in order to allow traffic to be maintained with a limited maximum speed pending an adequate intervention.

Although the experts initially counted on the preservation and repair of this part, the inspections carried out during the partial withdrawal from traffic showed that the replacement of this custom-made part was essential, as was that of the crosspieces supporting the seal.

Pending this complete repair of the joint, the speed will remain reduced locally in this zone to 50 km/h following the extra thickness caused by the temporary joint.
