Further delay for bridge on N9 between Maldegem and Eeklo: bridge not expected to be ready until June 2027

The construction of the bridge on the N9 between Maldegem and Eeklo has been delayed again, now expected to finish in June 2027. Initial completion was set for December 2026, then moved to March 2027 due to custom parts and production delays. Local officials express frustration over the impact on residents and businesses, urging authorities to mitigate economic consequences. Traffic diversions will remain in place until the project is completed, with ongoing accessibility for local businesses.
