Nieuwegein Keeps Stadshuis Garage and Several Shops Closed After Cracks Reported

Inspectors need more time to determine the cause.

Overview

  • Municipal officials say loose concrete and visible ceiling cracks led to Saturday’s evacuations beneath the Stadshuis.
  • The parking garage under the complex remains closed until further notice as structural checks continue.
  • Pets Place, Xenos and Basic-Fit stay shut, with temporary supports installed in Pets Place and care arranged for the animals.
  • Other retailers reopened Sunday, and the municipality reports the cracks do not appear to be worsening.
  • The closure limits parking for St. Antonius Hospital visitors who had used the site, leaving Theater De Kom’s garage as the only option for now.
