Brabant Roads Experience Record Traffic: 340 Kilometers of Congestion on Friday
Unprecedented traffic congestion occurred on Friday in the Dutch province of Brabant, with queues reaching approximately 340 kilometers during the evening rush hour. Delays were exacerbated by the closure of the Merwedebrug and construction work on the A2 highway, causing delays of up to an hour on several major routes. Heleen de Geest of the ANWB noted that such severe congestion had not been seen in recent years, advising drivers to wait before heading home. Significant delays persisted into the evening, with twenty-minute backups remaining on the A16 between Breda-Noord and Dordrecht and on the A2 between Rosmalen-West and Waardenburg.
