In mid-February 2025, Rijkswaterstaat will remove the fences on the Muntsluiss central island over a period of two weeks. During the restoration of the fences, temporary construction fences will replace them.
From early May 2025, the restored fences will be reinstalled. During the works, the central island will remain accessible to cyclists and pedestrians.
Working Method for Muntsluis Renovation
The current fences have monumental status. Therefore, we cannot replace them but can restore them. Before the work begins, a trial was conducted by experts with historical knowledge to determine the best restoration approach.
The restoration will take place in a workshop to better control quality and work more environmentally friendly. The municipality of Utrecht has agreed to this approach, ensuring the fences retain their current appearance.
The Muntsluis Remains Accessible to Everyone
The work will take place Monday to Friday from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM. At least 8 meters on the central island will remain available for cyclists and pedestrians, but please be aware of limited construction traffic.
Recreation in the area will also be possible within opening hours. Throughout the period, construction fences will replace the monumental fences.
