'Remarkably long traffic jams' due to closure of Merwede Bridge
The Merwede Bridge, carrying the A27, is closed until Monday morning for resurfacing work to lighten the structure against the construction of a new adjacent bridge. This closure has caused significant delays on alternative routes, including a 25-kilometer queue on the A16 between Breda-West and Zwijndrecht and 50-minute backups on the A2 between Den Bosch and Utrecht. An ANWB spokesperson reported 'remarkably long traffic jams' starting early Friday, with freight vehicle bans remaining in place.
