For the second week in a row, the A9 motorway between Knooppunten Holendrecht and Badhoevedorp is closed in both directions last night due to work. Motorists have to detour from 8 p.m. The A9 will also be closed several times in the coming months.
Just like last week, Rijkswaterstaat closes the highway between 8 p.m. and 5 p.m. in the morning. That is to perform tests around the Schiphol bridge over the Ringvaart. This is about, among other things, the barriers and sound systems.
The Schiphol Bridge is through it Placing new bridge parts become a lot wider. That project is part of the general widening of the A9 that have been working on for years. That is why the highway regularly closes one or more nights.
This is also the case several times in the spring. Next Friday, the same route will close at 8 p.m., and will not open again on Monday at 5 a.m. Then the A9 closes three full weekends. Those closures start (also at 8 p.m.) on Friday 28 March, 11 April and 2 May, and always last until the following Monday morning at 5.00 am.
