Road closure in Broechem diverts heavy trucks through Nijlen and Kessel; municipality not consulted

Reconstruction of the Oostmalsesteenweg (N14) in Broechem has forced heavy goods traffic onto the N13 through Nijlen and Kessel, increasing local traffic volumes. The municipality of Nijlen reports it was not consulted about the detour, raising coordination concerns. The situation is routine infrastructure disruption but highlights inter-municipal planning gaps.
