Will the underpass at the PN7 be realised as planned?

After more than 10 years, with the tracks being closed at the level of PN7 between Leudelange and Merl, the work for an underpass should start soon. Since this underpass will be closed to car traffic, the DP MPs Gusty Graas and Max Hahn wanted to know if the expenses were still justified.

« Il nous revient qu’après plus de dix ans de fermeture du passage à niveau PN7, les travaux relatifs à sa suppression devraient démarrer prochainement.

Dans ce cadre, il serait désormais prévu d’installer un bollard afin d’éviter une augmentation de la circulation routière dans le quartier résidentiel de Merl, en particulier aux heures de pointe.

De ce fait, le nombre d’usagers potentiels serait limité considérablement, à moins que le projet en question ne s’inscrive dans un concept plus large de promotion de la mobilité douce, créant des liaisons séparées du trafic motorisé vers les localités et pistes cyclables en proximité.

Au vu de ce qui précède, nous aimerions poser les questions suivantes à Monsieur le Ministre de la Mobilité et des Travaux publics :

  • Quel est le coût prévisionnel global de la suppression du PN7 ? Quel est le montant déjà engagé ?
  • De quelle manière la promotion de la mobilité douce est-elle prise en compte dans le cadre de ce projet ?
  • Est-il notamment prévu de créer une liaison sécurisée pour cyclistes et piétons entre la rue des Celtes et le quartier « Schléiwenhaff » ?
  • Dans la négative, et au vu du nombre d’usagers potentiels alors restreint, Monsieur le Ministre est-il d’avis que les dépenses liées au projet en question seraient justifiées ? »

How long are the waiting times at the “Travel Clinic”?

If you are travelling to tropical regions, you can get advice and be vaccinated against various diseases at the CHL’s “Travel Clinic”. However, the waiting times at this clinic are currently said to be quite long.
DP MPs Dr Gérard Schockmel and Gilles Baum have asked the Minister of Health how many patients have been seen at the “Travel Clinic” over the last ten years, how waiting times have developed over this period and whether it would not make sense to make it possible to book appointments online, as is the case with many other CHL services.

Medical referrals abroad

Since 1 June 2025, doctors have to fill out a new form if they want to send a patient abroad for treatment. The doctor must now indicate whether or not the services can be provided in Luxembourg within an ‘acceptable period’. If the doctor indicates that the services could actually be provided in Luxembourg, the referral request is automatically rejected.
DP MP Dr Gérard Schockmel has asked the Minister of Health whether the mere reduction to the ‘acceptable period’, without taking into account the quality of care, might not lead to unjustified rejections and whether the new form might not force doctors to provide false information in order to guarantee their patients the best possible care.
