A28 bridge repair and infrastructure concerns in Nijkerk
Overview
The Hardenbergerbrug on the A28 motorway near Nijkerk was closed in both directions on September 7 after inspections identified significant erosion of sand and gravel around the bridge piers. Rijkswaterstaat performed 24-hour emergency repairs using stone, sand, and gravel to stabilize the foundations, eventually reopening the bridge to traffic, though the Arkervaart waterway remained closed to shipping.
Following the disruption, the municipality of Nijkerk called for increased national government investment in infrastructure. Local officials noted that the closures caused significant challenges for commuters, businesses, and emergency services. The municipality urged the national cabinet to prioritize maintenance and expansion in the upcoming Miljoenennota, citing concerns that aging bridges and viaducts are reaching the end of their technical lifespans while facing increased pressure from economic growth and housing development.
