Angry farmers marched to the capital in protest for the third time this year on Tuesday. A ‘symbolic action’ is planned at Wetstraat, near the intersection with Willem de Zwijgerstraat, around 10:30 am.
The new action may cause a lot of traffic disruption in Brussels. Several tunnels were already closed to traffic on Tuesday morning. This concerns the Tervuren, Cinquantenaire Park and Wet tunnels towards the Center (N3) and the Reyers tunnel coming from the E40, Mobiliteit Brussels reports. It is recommended to avoid the capital by car and use the train and metro.

Anyone who takes the metro should also take into account the fact that some entrances to the Maalbeek and Schuman stations are closed on Tuesday morning, according to the STIB. Bus lines 12, 21, 56, 79, 64, 60, 36, 27, 34, 80, 95 and 59, among others, will also be diverted or limited, it said.
On the road it seems to be not too bad so far. Around 7.15 am there is approximately 105 kilometers of traffic jams on Flemish roads, which is average for a Tuesday morning. There don’t seem to be any notable traffic jams in the direction of Brussels either.
