Word of the year: 'Brokkelbrug'

Yesterday I heard it for the first time in “Het Journaal” on Flemish television VRT: 'BROKELBRUG'.
Due to the ongoing savings, bridges on Belgian roads are now only inspected every five years instead of every three years.
Result: Crumbling pieces of concrete regularly fall onto the road surface due to concrete damage. You'll get a piece of concrete, of various sizes, but in your windshield.



But we are watching the situation “closely”, according to the competent authorities.
