Netherlands roadworks cause widespread traffic disruptions
Various roadworks and maintenance projects across the Netherlands are causing significant traffic disruptions.
On the A59 near Waalwijk, a major closure is scheduled from the evening of October 16 until the morning of October 26. This work at the Hooipolder junction involves renewing traffic lights and adjusting lane layouts. Rijkswaterstaat warns of delays between 30 and 60 minutes.
Additionally, the A15 between Gorinchem and Deil will undergo nightly closures from October 26 to October 29, 2026. These maintenance works, occurring between 21:00 and 05:00, are expected to add roughly 30 minutes to travel times.
In the province of Groningen, maintenance on the N978 between Leek and Enumatil has been extended by two weeks due to unforeseen circumstances. The road is expected to reopen on November 2, with current diversions remaining in place until then.
