ProRail employees were busy early on Saturday morning repairing the damage caused to the track by storm Eunice. The storm has caused trees to fall on many routes or damage to overhead wires. Including Breda. On Twitter, the railway manager speaks of ‘enormous damage’.
The NS warns train passengers that they should take into account that it may take until Saturday afternoon before trains run according to schedule again. “Plan your journey shortly before departure”, emphasizes the NS on the website.
road traffic
Also on the roads this Saturday morning, hard work is being done to clean up things that have ended up on them due to storm Eunice. Rijkswaterstaat advises road users to check the traffic information and the weather information carefully before departure. “Take into account nuisance caused by clean-up and repair work,” advises a spokeswoman for Rijkswaterstaat.
A lot has already been cleaned up last night, she says. Road signs, branches and trees. Many overturned trucks also ended up on the road, including on the Moerdijk Bridge and the Haringvliet Bridge. A traffic screen also came loose somewhere. That then ended up on the road. There are still trees on some roads. The road is still closed there.
Eindhoven Airport warns that due to the strong wind, travelers should take into account delays or cancellations. They are advised to contact their airline for more information.
Warning
The ANWB points out that very heavy gusts of wind still occur in the coastal provinces and around the IJsselmeer. But also in the rest of the country there could be strong gusts of wind in the coming hours. The spokeswoman for Rijkswaterstaat emphasizes that it is wise to remain alert to this. “Both hands on the wheel!”
