The rail connections between Gembloux and Namur and Pepinster and Welkenraedt are open again as of the morning of 26 July. The line restoration and reopening go according to Infrabel’s plan despite the continuously occurring problems due to insisting rainfall. For instance, traffic between Dinant and Namur, even though not affected by the first flood wave, has stopped until 9 August. The closure is due to a damaged railway crossing from heavy rain on Saturday evening (24 July).
