Traffic disruption? Avoid rush hour and take the bike!
This year, the municipality of Katwijk is literally getting to work on the roads. The construction of a dedicated bus lane, the building of cycle flyovers and a cycle tunnel, and major maintenance on key traffic arteries are all underway. Until mid-April, this will cause significant traffic disruption on and around the N206. After that, the Molentuinweg will be next until the end of 2026. This work is necessary, as proper road maintenance is important. And since traffic is increasing, roads must also be adapted to the new situation to improve traffic flow and keep the roads safe for everyone.
However, roadworks also mean disruption. And sometimes even significant delays and traffic chaos. To prevent this as much as possible, there is an urgent request to take the bike instead of the car for short trips. Avoid rush hour and work from home if possible. Sometimes cycling only saves a few minutes, but it is healthy and you are less likely to get stuck in traffic. This way, we can all contribute to a sustainable situation.
