The Flemish Highways Agency will carry out resurfacing work on the westbound E314 motorway in Limburg Province on Friday night. There are potholes on the right-hand lane necessitating the resurfacing of the road between the Genk East and the Genk Centre junctions.
The road markings will also be repainted. "The new top layer will better protect the sub-layers and thus increase the life of the road surface. Safety and driving comfort will also improve," said The Flemish Transport Minister Lydia Peeters (liberal) told VRT News.
