== Transport ==
Messancy is transversed by the [[European route E25|E25]] highway from [[Liège]] to [[Luxembourg]] in the north. There are no highway exits in Messancy, but there is one exit just north of the municipality at Weyler. The European highway [[European route E411|E411]] from [[Brussels]] and [[Namur]] is double signed with the E25 until the exit in Weyler where it takes the N81 south. The major N81 route crosses the municipality north to south. It arrives from the provincial capital [[Arlon]], passing the highway at the Weyler exit and continues south to [[Aubange]] and the [[France|French]] border near [[Longwy]]. It forms the backbone for transportation to the commune.
