The ANWB warns on Tuesday for a busy evening rush hour on Wednesday. The expectation is that many people go out for the Ascension Weekend. In our province, a lot of crowds are expected mainly on the A2 towards Eindhoven and on the A27 towards Breda.
The ANWB expects the most delay on Wednesday in the evening rush hour on the A2 from Utrecht to Eindhoven. From Utrecht it can also be busy with motorists who drive over the A27 towards Breda.
Many people go out in the long weekend for a short holiday in the Netherlands or in Belgium and France. Holidaymakers who go to Germany via Arnhem or Nijmegen from Eindhoven can cause some delay on the A50.
During the day busy
In addition to a busy evening rush hour on Wednesday, the ANWB expects a little more traffic on the road during the day. This mainly towards recreational areas, amusement parks and outlet centers. There is no question of a morning or evening rush hour on Thursday and Friday, the ANWB thinks.
Extreme crowds on the evening before Ascension Shift was not forthcoming last year, because the long weekend then coincided with the May holiday. In the years before, there were more than 1000 kilometers of traffic jams in our country on the evening before Ascension Day.
