Western Suurhoff Bridge Partially Closed Due to Structural Cracks
Rijkswaterstaat closed the westbound lanes of the western Suurhoff Bridge on the A15 after inspections revealed cracks in a main girder, citing safety concerns. Traffic is diverted to the shoulder, causing 20-30 minute delays. The bridge, built in 1974, has been under strict supervision. Minister Karremans emphasized safety and announced plans to shift funds toward maintaining existing infrastructure rather than new construction, with a replacement bridge targeted for completion by 2032.
