In July 2026 Suriname began emergency repairs and widening work on Van ’t Hogerhuysstraat, signaling a broader effort to improve key city arteries.

By early August, the increased traffic pressure from ongoing rehabilitation, including the full closure of Domineestraat, prompted authorities in Paramaribo to temporarily remove a traffic plateau at the Keizerstraat and Zwartenhovenbrugstraat intersection. Police units were deployed to guide drivers and keep flow moving, while motorists were advised to use alternative routes until the road works are completed.
