More than 11 million vehicles through Liefkenshoek tunnel in 2018

Of the 11.2 million users, 7.1 million were passenger cars and 4.1 million trucks. Over a 12-year period, traffic has doubled through the fixed-river link under the Scheldt. On weekdays, the maximum capacity of 40,000 vehicles is reached by default. This causes structural traffic jams. The evening rush hour towards the Netherlands is particularly busy.
