AD8 September · 05:002 weeks ago

While standing on the bridge deck of the Julianasluis, Lars Verzijlenberg saw the barriers close, recalling the fatal accident in January 2026 when a 58-year-old woman from Gouda died at the same location. Verzijlenberg quickly moved himself and his son to safety by switching to the other lane. He questioned, “How can this happen again?” The incident raises concerns about the safety of the bridge, especially after a previous fatality earlier in the year.
