Netherlands closes A7: detours for trucks, delays up to 90 minutes

On the night from Tuesday, November 18 to Wednesday, November 19, between 11:00 p.m. and 5:00 a.m., the A7 motorway (section at the Afsluitdijk entrance) in the direction of Friesland will be completely closed from the Den Oever (14) exit.

The closure is necessary to repair significant pavement damage; in several locations, the asphalt has holes and is not suitable for normal use. During this period, traffic toward Friesland via the Afsluitdijk will be entirely blocked.
For truck drivers, this means a mandatory detour: the recommended route is via A7 → N307 (Houtribdijk) → A6. The estimated additional travel time may be up to 90 minutes.
Traffic in the opposite direction, toward North Holland, remains unaffected and can continue as usual.
