Roadworks and Emergencies Snarl Dutch Traffic as A10 East Remains Shut

Rijkswaterstaat urges drivers to expect delays during maintenance‑heavy weekends.

Overview

  • Amsterdam’s A10 Oost between Watergraafsmeer and Amstel is closed until Monday 6 October at 05:00, with detours via the A1/A9/A2 and advised extra travel time of 30 to 60 minutes under the guidance to “reis niet, reis anders of reis samen.”
  • Rotterdam’s A16 is closed southbound between Terbregseplein and Ridderkerk from Friday 20:00 to Monday 05:00, and additional works near knooppunt Hooipolder are causing 10–30 minute delays after severe congestion last weekend.
  • Four people were hospitalized after a collision between a car and a military jeep from the Ferocious Bison convoy on the A16 at knooppunt Princeville, with separate multi‑vehicle crashes on the A50 and A7 also disrupting traffic.
  • A large A7 traffic control near Leek led by police with Belastingdienst, RDW and Douane yielded numerous fines and €100,000 in recovered debts, with vehicle seizures and roadworthiness failures recorded.
  • Police are investigating a stabbing inside a Shell shop near Rhoon on the A15 and an overnight explosion that shattered a window in Vlaardingen, while the Molenhoek rail bridge remains shut to motor traffic with detours via Mook and the Euvelgunnerbrug is open for road users but still closed to shipping.
