Construction Work on Keersluisbrug Bridge from March 25, 2026
In March and early April 2026, construction work will take place at the Keersluisbrug Bridge. On behalf of the municipality, the traffic lights at the intersection will be replaced, and the province will carry out major maintenance on the bridge. The work will partially overlap.
Bridge Closure
For the bridge maintenance, the Keersluisbrug Bridge will be fully closed from Wednesday, March 25, to Friday, April 3, 2026. This applies to cars, cyclists, and water traffic. The province will provide detours, which will be clearly marked.
New Traffic Lights
The current traffic lights are outdated, and the system can no longer regulate traffic effectively. Therefore, a new, intelligent traffic control system (iVRI) will be installed. This system uses data to better respond to traffic volumes, improving traffic flow and reducing waiting times. The traffic lights will also be fitted with energy-efficient LED lighting. The work is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 6, and is expected to last approximately two weeks. During the work, the traffic lights will be temporarily disabled, and traffic controllers will guide traffic during the day.
Additional Travel Time
These works will ensure the bridge is safe and future-proof. Road users are advised to allow for extra travel time.
