Roadworks cause temporary inconvenience
The coming weeks, the municipality of Twenterand will carry out major maintenance on the Russenweg, Polderweg (between Noorderweg and the railway line) and the Janmansweg (between Vosseboerweg and Ganzenmars). Road users should expect diversions and delays. The work is necessary to improve traffic safety and maintain the roads in good condition. While the work may cause temporary inconvenience, it will ultimately result in better and safer routes.
On all three roads, poor asphalt layers will be replaced and new asphalt laid. The verges will also be reinforced, which is important for traffic that needs to swerve. Where the asphalt is being replaced, verge paving will be installed on both sides of the road. These improvements will reduce the risk of damage and nuisance and enhance safety for all road users. The work will be carried out between late March and early May.
During the work, a road may be temporarily closed in its entirety, with diversions in place. Road users may therefore face a few extra minutes of travel time. This major maintenance work will prevent further damage and help keep the roads in good condition for longer. This way, we ensure the routes remain safe and pleasant to use. During the work, road users may need to wait or take a detour. The municipality asks for understanding regarding this temporary inconvenience.
