Due to the accident, not only the concrete pump car, but also the portal and the matrix boards were considerably damaged, a provincial spokesperson told NH. The damaged parts have since been removed by the province.
Until that time, temporary signs have been placed with the message that the matrix signaling is out of use. That is why there is a speed limit: from 100 to 70 kilometers per hour. This remains in force until the portal has been restored.
The expectation is that this can take another two to three months. “That depends on the delivery of materials,” said the spokesperson.
SENTAL SENTALLY
The province expects the repair work to take one day. “To limit the nuisance, we try to do this at night,” a spokesperson said.
To mount the new portal, the Westfrisiaweg towards the A7 must be completely closed. In the other direction, from the A7 to Enkhuizen, one lane will probably have to close.
How large the damage is, is not yet known; That is currently being investigated.
