Provincial road between Onstwedde and Mussel closed for four weeks
From March 30 to April 24, the cycle path along provincial road N975 between Onstwedde and Mussel will be renovated. To carry out the work safely, the N975 will be closed to through traffic. Car traffic will be diverted via Alteveer and Stadskanaal. Cyclists will still be able to pass through the construction zone.
The cycle path between the built-up area of Mussel and the junction with the N365 near Onstwedde will receive a new asphalt layer. After the work is completed, cyclists will be able to ride safely and comfortably again.
Two phases
The work will take place in two phases. From March 30 to April 7, the road will be closed from the built-up area of Mussel to the Ontsluitingsweg (access road). The section of the N975 north of the Ontsluitingsweg will remain accessible. From April 7 to April 24, the road will be fully closed from the built-up area of Mussel to the junction with the N365 near Onstwedde.
Closure and diversions

Local traffic
Homes and properties along the route will remain accessible to local traffic. However, the road layout will be temporarily adjusted, and a lower speed limit will be in place to ensure the safety of cyclists and road workers.
Possible inconvenience
