A first convoy of tractors heading for the European Quarter drove into the Brussels-Capital Region around 18:30 on Wednesday, ahead of the large farmers' protest that coincides with the EU summit on Thursday.
The convoy caused traffic disruptions in the city centre and on the Small Ring Road. The exit between the Porte de Namur and Louise tunnel in the direction of Basilique closed temporarily but reopened around 19:30, announced Brussels Mobility on social media.
The tractors will bring an extra layer of traffic chaos on top of the usual disruptions in the capital caused by the specific security measures triggered in the European Quarter. These include the police perimeter set up around the Council of the European Union buildings on Rue de la Loi for the summit.
Police have called on people not to travel to Brussels by car on Thursday and to use the metro to get around the city.
