In most cases, traffic can continue to move on the highway in both directions via narrowed lanes, with a maximum speed of 70 kilometers per hour. According to Rijkswaterstaat, this may cause a delay of between 30 and 60 minutes.
Road users are advised to work from home or use public transport where possible.
