BAM whistles back at Flemish government over Oosterweel benefits

The social cost-benefit analysis referred to by the Flemish government is based on the Oosterweel project without traffic management measures such as tolling, BAM said. But since it was decided last year to impose a variable toll in the Antwerp tunnels, the social cost will be higher as a result. As a result, the project’s social benefits would not amount to 14.2 billion but 10.3 billion, although the exact amount cannot be estimated at present, according to BAM.
