The R4 highway around Ghent will be closed overnight in Merelbeke to allow the transportation of a 75-ton steel sluice gate to the sluice complex on the Ringvaart. The closure runs from 10 PM tonight to 6 AM tomorrow morning. The new gate will replace an existing one showing cracks and deformation at the bottom. Special self-propelled vehicles will transport the gate across the R4, and a floating crane will position it once it arrives.
