On saturday evening, November 17th 2012, the highway E313 was closed, making it possible for heavy machinery to tear down the old highway bridge of the N19 in Geel (Belgium). 1 Half of the new bridge was already in place. Hence the traffic on the N19 wasn’t obstructed. In the future the second half will result in a better traffic flow around highway juncion 23 (Geel oost).
