Jackknifed Truck Closes A27 Toward Utrecht as A58 Repair Delays Ease

Crews expect a morning-long closure for guardrail and asphalt replacement with traffic rerouted via A59, A16, A15.

Overview

  • The A27 at the Merwedebrug near Gorinchem remains shut toward Utrecht, with reopening projected around noon Saturday.
  • Rijnmond reports at least one person was taken to hospital and two cars were damaged in the overnight crash.
  • One southbound lane on the A27 is closed as repairs continue to the barrier and road surface.
  • Photos showed residual snow near the bridge, and reporters said slippery conditions may have contributed.
  • On Friday, emergency moisture-related repairs on the A58 between Tilburg and Breda caused 8–11 km queues and roughly 30 minutes of delay before clearing by about 18:30, with traffic at one point routed via the hard shoulder.
