Roadworks in April 2026
Roadworks are underway in Hollands Kroon. These may involve various activities, all of which could cause traffic disruption. On this page, you can find details about where the roadworks are taking place and how long they will last.
Closure of N240 Medemblikkerweg from 17 November 2025 until summer 2026
The fixed bridges along the Medemblikkerweg (N240) are being replaced as they have reached the end of their service life. This applies to the first two bridges when approaching from Medemblik. The Province of North Holland began these works at the end of last year. The bridges are expected to be completed by summer 2026. The road is closed to traffic, though cyclists will still have access.
At the same time, the Province is improving traffic safety. Once completed, both motorists and cyclists will be able to use the road more safely.
