Omroep Brabant27 September · 08:592 hours ago

The Merwede Bridge near Sleeuwijk reopened late Saturday evening, earlier than the scheduled Monday morning reopening, due to successful maintenance work that reduced the bridge's weight by approximately 400 tons. Rijkswaterstaat implemented a 70 km/h speed limit and maintained the ban on trucks and tour buses to ensure safety while the new bridge construction proceeds over the next five years.
