These days the A12 from Gouda to Zoetermeer is closed

Expect it to take longer this weekend if you want to travel from Gouda to Zoetermeer, because road works are planned.

Rijkswaterstaat will carry out maintenance on the A12 during the weekend from Friday, December 12 to Monday, December 15, 2025. This has consequences for the route from the Gouwe junction to the Zoetermeer Centrum exit (6). Road users must take a detour and take into account an additional travel time of 30 to 60 minutes.

New asphalt

The asphalt of the A12 between Gouda and The Hague is being replaced and that’s why the highway will be closed this weekend. This is what it means for Zoetermeer residents:

• From Friday, December 12, 10:00 PM to Monday, December 15, 5:00 AM between the Gouwe junction and Zoetermeer-Centrum (exit 6)

Please note: Rijkswaterstaat can close the entrances, exits and connecting roads up to an hour earlier than the stated time.

Diversion routes

• Traffic from Gouda to The Hague is diverted via the A20 and A13
• Traffic from Utrecht to The Hague is diverted via the N11 and the A4

If you travel in the direction of Gouda during those days, there is nothing to worry about.
