Netherlands to Belgium , via Antwerp and Liege




E313
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/European_route_E313
Approximately 120 kilometers (75 miles) long, it connects the Belgian port city of Antwerp to Liège, the commercial and industrial centre of Wallonia. It runs thus entirely within Belgium: however, it does cross the language frontier within Belgium between the Dutch speaking north and the French speaking south which affects the roadside route signs and safety-message posters
