The first 3 weekend closures of April and May 2025 have now been completed. During these weekends, all old hoisting, pulling, and balance cables of the eastern lift - on the Hoogvliet side - have been removed. After that, work began on installing the new cables.
But thats not all: in addition to the cable work, there has also been hard work on the installation of new electronic systems, such as cameras, lighting, and a public address system. For these installations, the contractor combination Yunex Traffic/Heijmans first lays cabling and mounts brackets and fixtures where the new equipment will hang. Much of this work is done at height and is therefore carried out with lifts.
The upcoming 2 weekends, from April 25 to 28 and May 2 to 5, 2025, we will continue renewing all steel cables and installing the new electronic systems.
