Overview

• Invited drivers made the first crossing around 03:15, with regular traffic allowed from 05:00 Monday.
• Only the north-to-south carriageway toward Dordrecht and Breda is open, with the Delft/Den Haag direction due on 27 October.
• Rijkswaterstaat forecasts considerably fewer jams at the A13 near Overschie and the A20 between Kleinpolderplein and Terbregseplein once both sides are in use.
• The 11‑kilometre section took six years to build after decades of discussion and includes the Rottemerentunnel to improve access for Rotterdam and Lansingerland.
• The opening followed a public festival on the new roadway, with photos showing a night procession led by Rijkswaterstaat vehicles and an oldtimer.
