Temporary road at Stadhuisplein opens Monday, March 16
Starting Monday, March 16, the temporary road at Stadhuisplein will be open to traffic. This will change the traffic situation. A maximum speed limit of 30 kilometers per hour will apply, and the road will also be accessible to cyclists.
Until this summer, work will be carried out under the Banneweg (gas, electricity, and telecom) in the area that has been cleared for the temporary road. These are preparatory activities for the redesign of Banneweg.
Accessibility and parking at the town hall
Due to the temporary road across Stadhuisplein, there will be fewer parking spaces available. The parking lot can be reached from March 16 via the new entrance on the side (Schelluinsestraat side). Sidewalk work is also taking place around the town hall, so you may occasionally need to take a detour or cross the street. Please keep this in mind if you have an appointment at the town hall.
Roundabout to be replaced by a traffic-light-controlled intersection
Later this year, the roundabout in front of the town hall will be removed to make way for a traffic-light-controlled intersection. This is being done to improve traffic flow.
