I'm going to drive from Antwerp out coastwards later today, google maps says A11 is closed
No more info in google (apart from maps). Anyone from Belgium, could you clarify what's going on?

This question is going to go out of date really quickly.– DJClayworthOct 17, 2014 at 12:44

4This question is far too specific to be of long-term value. If it were broadened to "how do I find out road closure issues in Belgium?", it might be of more future value.– Andrew FerrierOct 19, 2014 at 9:20

@AndrewFerrier: or "in Europe" in general, because it's not the first time I notice Maps to be unreliable in this respect. I'm personally not particularly interested, but feel free to edit.– georgOct 19, 2014 at 11:04

An answer for Belgium is more likely to be meaningful than one for all of Europe, as each country may have their own road closures reporting system, for instance.– FlimzyOct 19, 2014 at 20:05

As I recall I got the same notice on my phone last night, after having taken that exact road to get home. It seems to either be a bug or they've interpreted a traffic notice incorrectly: there are roadworks on that particular freeway with single-lane traffic from Vrasene (on the left on your map) going east to just past where it joins the R2 with part of the exit closed (E34 > R2 closed, take next exit; R2 > E34 West closed; R2 > E34 open).
However, since you're driving west, not east, you shouldn't even encounter any delays. That road is most definitely open.

Thanks, everything went fine (except that you usually don't expect to see that many traffic lights on a freeway :)– georgOct 19, 2014 at 11:05
I'm not from Belgium, but I suspect it might be a bug. The A11 in the UK was closed today following a collision (see twitter tweets about it and perhaps Google's placed it on the wrong A11.
