Charles Dulion, the mayor of Vicq looks annoyed at the roundabout that separates his town in 2, “it’s turn merry-go-round” laughs yellow, the chosen one who sees For almost 3 months, hundreds of heavy goods vehicles and cars have been ravaging the road.
The prefecture, which does not give an explicit reason and duration of the device, explains in a press release
The forces are mobilized on the Franco-Belgian border, as elsewhere on the territory, to secure the territory against any attack on internal security. Established in November 2015, following the attacks, controls at authorized crossing points allow surveillance on pre-determined strategic motorways, North Prefecture
Up to 2 hours to return from Mons instead of 20 minutes
Corn this deviation from the A2 is starting to spoil the lives of many residents. It almost multiplies by 5 the journey of people who work near Mons, and which can take up to 2 hours to return home because of traffic jams. And for everyday life it is also complicated for the inhabitants of Vicq who take 15 minutes to cross the famous roundabout to go to school or to the town hall.
Without counting thenoise and pollution for residents like Christophe and Laurence, their cars, letterbox, garden furniture and even the palm trees are black! impossible to go outside assures the couple who are at their wit’s end
It stinks of diesel! we can’t stay outside it’s impossible! it’s a calamity (…) I’m on the verge of depression

Permanent noise and pollution
Without counting the incessant noise day and night, “we can’t sleep anymore, it’s an atrocity, it’s exhausting”, deplores Christophe.
Christophe who does not understand the silence of the authorities on the duration of the device, he appealed to the prefect of the North, whom he invited to his home
Even if he wants to come and eat, there is no problem, he can see the situation, what are we going through, he will see how the little roundabout is going, and maybe afterwards he will change his mind
An appeal to the prefect also launched by the mayor of Vicq, “we are taken for fools” annoys Charles Dulion. Pierre Griner, the mayor of neighboring Quiévrechain, also impacted by the device, also launched an appeal on social networks.
This radio silence is also annoying on the other side of the border in Hensies where deputy mayor Eric Thiebaut decided to close his motorway exit for 3 weeks to avoid traffic jams in his small town, because of this deviation.
