Maintenance Inspection of the Beatrix Bridge
To ensure the Beatrix Bridge remains safe and future-proof, engineering firm Ingenieursbureau Westenberg will conduct a maintenance inspection on Wednesday, April 8. During this inspection, the bridge will be closed to all traffic. Cyclists and pedestrians will also be unable to cross.
In principle, the bridge will only be closed outside of peak hours. If the work takes longer than planned, the closure may extend until April 9.
Why is the closure necessary?
For the inspection, workers will be operating machinery on the roadway. Therefore, the entire bridge must be closed to ensure safe execution of the work.
Detour
During the closure, a detour route will be in place. You can see the route on roadside signs.
