News Report

On Thursday, February 20, 2025, the Amsterdam-Rhine Canal near Diemen will be closed from 10:00 to 14:00 between kilometers 4 and 6.

In addition to the previously announced works on Tuesday, February 18, and Wednesday, February 19, it has now been decided to also close the canal for a few hours on Thursday, February 20.

Completely Repairing the Damage

This allows TenneT to completely repair the damage to the high voltage connection. Initially, it was decided to do this in two periods, this week and at another time to be determined. However, the work is progressing so smoothly that full restoration will be achieved this week. These works are necessary to repair the damage to the TenneT high voltage connection. Earlier this week a crane ship, which was performing works for Rijkswaterstaat, collided with the high voltage lines. We inform shipping about closures via BAS messages.
