Since Monday, June 16, 2025, we have started work on the temporary fixed bridge at Uitwellingerga. Phase 1 involves removing the ballast blocks and the drawbridge. This work will last until July 18, 2025.
During this period, the bridge will be completely closed on certain days. To minimize inconvenience for cyclists and pedestrians, Rijkswaterstaat will deploy shuttle buses.
Road Closures Bridge Uitwellingerga
From June 23 to July 18, the road under the bridge at Bregefinne will be completely closed. Cyclists and pedestrians can continue to use the bridge and will be redirected via the bike path on the north side. The bridge is closed for moped cars.
The bridge will be completely closed to all traffic on the following days and times:
- Thursday, June 26: 07:00 - 19:00.
- Friday, June 27: 07:00 - 19:00.
- Monday, June 30: 07:00 - 19:00.
- Wednesday, July 9 and Thursday, July 10: all day.
Deployment of Shuttle Service for Cyclists and Pedestrians
During these complete closures, a shuttle service will be in operation for cyclists and pedestrians. This service will run with buses equipped with bike trailers between 07:00 and 19:00.
The pickup points are as follows:
- Joure side: the last exit before the bridge: Greate Sudein and Sudwei.
- Sneek side: the last exit before the bridge: Nije Dyk.
Approximately 2 to 3 trips will be made per hour, depending on the traffic on the diversion route and the driving and rest times of the drivers. Unfortunately, an exact schedule is not available. We ask for your understanding. Traffic guidance will be present during these days.
