Those of us who regularly used the LCY/ANR run have all got used to flying into Zaventem, which is nearly halfway to Antwerp anyway and well served by motorway and rail.
On Thursday last it didn't seem to matter whether you were headed for the notorious Kennedy Tunnel or around the north side the traffic was abysmal, perhaps that was unusual. What was noticeable is that whereas the UK just apparently tolerates the car crash that is the Dartford Tunnel (the bridge is much better) the Belgium authorities appear, judging from the road works, flyover construction etc etc to be trying to
do something about the Kennedy Tunnel congestion.
