Gridlock

Gridlock: A state of severe road congestion arising when continuous queues of vehicles block an entire network of intersecting streets, bringing traffic in all directions to a complete standstill; a traffic jam of this kind.


Well, I can guess you can call this gridlock. An accident with a truck (which lost his load of gravel...)happened earlier this afternoon and the whole of Antwerp came to a stand still. The truck blocked all 4 lanes and so everybody tries to find alternative routes, which is why the harbor is also stuck, at this moment, 3 hours after the accident there is still a delay of 50 minutes if you want to leave the harbor...
