Due to an emergency repair, the Wilhelmina Bridge in Vreeswijk will be closed on Wednesday, February 26 from 07:00 to 17:00.
Repair of the Wilhelmina Bridge Lift Section
We are urgently repairing the ballast at the top of the lift section of the Wilhelmina Bridge. It was deliberately chosen to carry out this emergency repair during the spring break when the schools are closed. The ballast is needed to open and close the bridge. Therefore, the bridge must be open while we work.
For the safety of road users and the contractor, the bridge will be completely closed on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
Cyclists and Pedestrians via Emmabrug
Cyclists and pedestrians can use the Emmabrug during the closure, which is next to the Wilhelmina Bridge. Cars lighter than 1500 kg and with a maximum width of 2 meters can also use the Emmabrug, as is currently the case.
Other cars and trucks use the detour via the Wiersebrug, which takes about 5-10 minutes. This route is indicated with signs on-site.
Bus Traffic Wilhelmina Bridge
Bus lines 65 and 565 will follow an adjusted route during these works on Wednesday, February 26, 2025.
