Starting Saturday, several highways will be closed for maintenance on seven weekends through November. The roads from Eindhoven in the directions to Tilburg and ‘s-Hertogenbosch will then close for a new layer of asphalt and repair of joint crossings.
Around 70 kilometers of roads will be refurbished during this period. 50 kilometers of these are around Eindhoven. The road works and railroad works already underway will be considered. Rijkswaterstaat expects heavy inconvenience with detour times that can be 60 minutes. People are advised to work from home or use public transport.
The work is going on as per a tight schedule, but the completion of work depends a lot on the weather. In case of rain and cold, the work has to be postponed. Authorities have scheduled reserve weekends for this.
