Jaco buys a boat to avoid traffic jams when the Haringvlietbrug is closed: ‘In these times you have to be creative’ | Car

With the Haringvliet Bridge closed for maintenance in June and July, he has a problem. Like so many commuters, Jaco Wolfert uses the A29 and Hellegatsplein every day to get to his bakery in Den Bommel. He doesn’t feel like a ‘branching detour’, so he will take his own boat for two months to sail from Nieuw-Beijerland to his work ‘on Flakkee’.
