BRUSSELS (Sputnik) – Belgium police reopened roads to Brussels Airport, blocked earlier on Monday due to a gas leak in an adjacent area, airport authorities said.

Access to roads leading to the airport has been reopened, airport authorities wrote on Twitter, warning that there still are heavy traffic conditions in the area.

All access roads to the airport have been reopened. Traffic might still be difficult, allow extra time to arrive or take the train.

Roads were temporarily closed by Federal Police because of a gas leak in a building near the flyover. Vehicles were temporarily not allowed to approach the entrance to the airport.

The road closure quickly caused a large traffic jam.
