Extensive maintenance work on the Dutch A15 motorway between Ridderkerk and Deil will significantly impact transport and transit between the east and west of the Netherlands. The route is also crucial for international traffic.
From 12 July to 28 October 2024, a section of the Dutch A15 motorway will be closed for four weeks and two weekends. There will be separate closure dates for each direction.
