Merwede Bridge closed for three days, significant disruption expected this afternoon
The Merwede Bridge on the A27 has been closed for three days to replace its asphalt deck with a thinner layer, reducing weight due to structural concerns identified by Rijkswaterstaat. Traffic is being diverted via the A2, A59, and A15, with potential delays of up to one hour. The bridge remains closed to freight traffic indefinitely since July due to steel strength issues, and a maximum speed of 70 km/h will apply after repairs.
