From January 12, the Hillegommer Bridge over the ring canal will be closed to cars for about five weeks. Not for pedestrians and cyclists. The bridge connects Beinsdorp, Nieuw-Vennep and Hillegom and is an important traffic connection between Haarlemmermeer and the region. Due to the closure, drivers must take detours and expect extra travel time. The work will last until February 13, 2026.
Car traffic
Many drivers use the Hillegommer Bridge daily. Especially traffic between Nieuw-Vennep and Hillegom, and towards Heemstede and Haarlem, often uses this route. During the work, this is not possible. Traffic is diverted over other roads. This may lead to extra congestion.
Pedestrians and cyclists
Pedestrians and cyclists can continue to use the Hillegommer Bridge. The bridge itself will not be modified; the municipality is adjusting the intersection near the bridge. This will make it safer. Also, pedestrian crossings will be clearer and new traffic lights will be installed. At the bus stops on the dike, sidewalks will be raised to facilitate boarding and alighting.
Routes
Driving by car from Nieuw-Vennep to Hillegom or Heemstede? Drive via Drie Merenweg or the N207 towards Hillegom. From the IJweg – Venneperweg intersection, there are detours. Detour signs are posted in Beinsdorp and Hillegom.
