At Amstelveen Stadshart, travelers can continue their journey with tram 5 to the South and Amsterdam Central Station. On Saturday, Tram 6 also runs between Amstelveen Stadshart and Station Zuid.
The municipality of Amstelveen warns motorists that the Oranjebaan has also been closed. Two roundabouts will be built between Marathonlaan and the Beneluxbaan. For motorists who want to leave in the Operawijk, a temporary exit is being constructed at the start of the Ouverture.
Expected nuisance
A spokesperson for Rijkswaterstaat says that extra crowds are expected on the diversion roads. “The Beneluxbaan is also widely used during the weekend by people who want to go to Amsterdam.” She emphasizes that the situation cannot be compared to the closure of the Keizer Karelweg, three weeks ago.
Then the traffic got stuck in and around the city center and some people were stuck for so long that they decided to turn around.
