Closure of A2 on-ramp near Abcoude
Due to damage to the road surface of the A2, Rijkswaterstaat has decided to close the on-ramp near Abcoude (in the direction of Amsterdam) for the safety of road users.
The repair period is currently unclear. Since the available budget is not sufficient to carry out all (including unforeseen) maintenance immediately, Rijkswaterstaat must prioritize which repairs will be addressed and when.
The province and municipality are urging Rijkswaterstaat to carry out the repairs as soon as possible. The current situation is causing unsafe conditions in Abcoude, and buses are unable to follow their regular routes.
The municipality has scheduled maintenance work on bridges in Abcoude next week, which will involve road closures. If the on-ramp remains closed next week, the bridge maintenance work will temporarily be postponed.
