Traffic on the A4 motorway from Rotterdam to Bergen op Zoom has had an extra long evening rush hour. Due to an accident at the Bergen op Zoom-Zuid exit, a traffic jam of 4 kilometers arose at half past six, with a delay of up to an hour at one point. At that time, only one lane was available between Steenbergen and Bergen op Zoom-Zuid.
Rijkswaterstaat expected that cleaning work would last until at least a quarter past seven. Only then could the entire road be released. The job took a little longer, but by eight o’clock the blockage was over and the traffic jam was resolved in no time. At least three cars were involved in the accident. One of the vehicles flipped over.
