With the help of a platform, the fire brigade tried to secure the plates, but the aerial platform cannot be completely extended due to the strong wind. “We have to wait until it blows less hard,” said a fire brigade spokesperson.
As a precaution, the intersection of the Kanaalweg with the N250 is completely closed to traffic. As a result, motorists cannot temporarily not drive to the Teso boat via the main entrance.
Closing until tomorrow
The road was still closed at three in the afternoon. “It is not yet possible to say what time we can remove the loose plates,” explains a spokesperson for the fire brigade. “Because we depend on the wind.”
The situation was still unchanged at 8.15 pm, the spokesperson told NH. TESO reports on the website that it is expected that the Weststraat at the Kruispunt Weststraat/Hoofdgracht/the Nieuwediep is closed due to storm damage until 8.30 am on Monday morning, possibly even longer.
According to TESO, the diversion via the Van Kinsbergen Bridge/the New Diep remains in force. The company asks travelers to take extra travel time into account.
