Chance of traffic jam! The tunnel box will remain closed for a while longer

Have you been stuck in traffic at the Stadshart during rush hour this week? That could happen again. Due to the rain, the work on the Europatunnel may not be completed on time.

The closure of the Europatunnel actually lasted until Friday, October 20, but work may be delayed due to the wet weather. That is why the municipality decided to keep the tunnel box closed until Monday, October 23, 4 p.m.

Rain, so too wet

The pouring of concrete and application of the finishing layers were planned for Friday, October 20. If it rains a lot, this work cannot be carried out. Because the concrete and the finishing layer cannot dry, according to the municipality. The Europa Tunnel can only open once this work has been carried out. To be on the safe side, the municipality decided to leave the tunnel closed until Monday anyway.

Australia Road closed later

Due to the autumn weather, the planned work on the asphalt of the Australia Road cannot take place. The municipality decided to move this one week to the weekend of October 27.

Take into account crowds around the Stadshart and a longer driving time in the coming days.
