According to RTV Drenthe weatherman Gert Voerman, the whole of Drenthe is covered under a layer of snow. And in many places it concerns 4 to 5 centimeters. “Be careful,” says the weatherman, “because the road tack temperatures are in many places below zero and that makes it dangerous.”
Rijkswaterstaat is in line with that warning. “Do not catch up, go well prepared, adjust your driving style and your speed and keep your distance. There is still sprinkling on different roads and we also use snow blades, among other things on the A28. I therefore call road users to To give these services the space, “says Rijkswaterstaat spokesperson Jayme Tol.
“Because of the rain that sat in front of the snow, Rijkswaterstaat later started sprinkling, because otherwise the salt would wash away,” Tol explains.
According to the spokesperson, major accidents were not so far. “But several slides have been reported. For example, on the A28 between Assen and Beilen a truck has reached a crash barrier.” Because of this accident, the left lane is close from Assen to Hoogeveen. As a result, there is a traffic jam of about 4 kilometers. The delay rose at the peak to more than half an hour.
The other way, the traffic is even worse. Van Hoogeveen towards Assen is currently a traffic jam of 20 kilometers on the A28. The delay rises to half an hour.
