Project bureau Aanpak Ring Zuid calls on motorists to avoid Julianaplein on the south side of Groningen from the end of March to September next year. In this way, a traffic jam during the final work on the traffic circle should be prevented.
To allow traffic to flow from all directions, it is necessary to drive 80,000 fewer cars every day. That is twenty percent less than what is currently driven every day. “If this does not work, traffic is guaranteed to get stuck,” Groningen Bereikbaar said. They therefore urgently appeal to road users to leave their cars at home as much as possible and instead travel by bicycle or public transport.
The work will not be finished after September 2024, but most people will be less affected by it. This mainly concerns work next to or outside the ring. For example, roads are demolished that are no longer needed.
