99 cars hoisted in Antwerp for the start of the Tour of Flanders

The Antwerp local police began today with the wegtakelen of vehicles despite the current parkeerverboden still at the start of the Tour of Flanders. On the northern part of the Muted Zuiderdokken, a huge free uncovered exterior parking, is there already since midnight a no parking zone, but there were at that time still 99 vehicles. 54 of them were towed away at the expense of the owner because the prohibition is ignored, the remaining 45 at the expense of the police.

18 hours is also the rest of the Muted Zuiderdokken cleared of cars. That is also true for the scheldt quays (Ernest Van Dijckkaai, Jordaenskaai and Orteliuskaai and the car park behind the waterkeringsmuur between the coach park and the Fortuinstraat) and the northern side of the Brouwersvliet, Old Leeuwenrui and Ankerrui. At midnight is also on the Steenplein a no parking zone. Tomorrow follow to 18 hours is still the Plantinkaai and the Sint-Michielskaai.

public transport Also fits the timetables because of the start of the Tour of Flanders in Antwerp. Tram 4 goes to Sunday of the Square in the direction of Hoboken via a detour along the Huidevetterstraat, Lange Gasthuisstraat, and Amerikalei. Tram 7 is only tomorrow and Sunday will be shortened to Sint-Pietersvliet. Bus 30 will follow tomorrow and Sunday is a redirect on the South, and bus 36 remains on the Left bank instead of to the Rooseveltplaats to drive.

Who to the start of the Round wants to go and have a look, choose according to the city's best for the bike or public transport or come on foot. Outside the city you can take the train to Antwerp-Central station, the water bus on the river Scheldt or taking your car to leave a park-and-ride and then the tram or Velo.
