According to the ANWB, the delay is caused by the demonstration on the Afsluitdijk. The trucks drive at a slow pace from Friesland to North Holland and then turn around again.
It is still unclear how many drivers are participating in the protest. The demonstration is supervised by Rijkswaterstaat and the police.
Call for protest on social media
Truck drivers were called on social media to protest against high fuel prices. Due to the war in the Middle East, prices have risen sharply, which is hitting the transport sector hard.
Traffic jam and delay on the A7
The protest has created a traffic jam of 14 kilometers on the A7 between Kornwerderzand and Den Oever. Motorists should expect a delay of approximately 70 minutes. “This will take a while,” a spokesperson said about the traffic jam.
