Highway Closed This Weekend, Detours Add Half an Hour
The A20 highway between Schiedam and Rotterdam will be closed from Friday evening at 21:00 until Monday, September 28, at 05:00 for viaduct maintenance. Rijkswaterstaat warns of ten to thirty minutes of additional travel time as traffic is diverted via the A4, A15, A16, A13, or A12. The closure is necessary to renovate viaducts built in the 1960s, which are being strengthened to handle heavier traffic. Existing issues at the Giessenbruggen further reduce available lanes, compounding delays for drivers traveling toward Gouda and Utrecht.
