LIVE BLOG: A1 from Amersfoort restricted to one lane – Traffic Service

The VID receives many questions about the impact of the extension of the work on the A1 in the Monday morning rush hour.

First, we recommend you continue to monitor the traffic. We will also continue to update tonight on this live blog and Twitter the situation to inform road users. The exact size (number of lanes, duration) of the closure were initially not quite clear and also depended on the progress of work.

If the A1 from Amersfoort to Amsterdam will largely remain closed between knots. Muiderberg Muiden and this will have much effect on traffic flow throughout the central Netherlands. The main detour route namely runs will flow there too quickly from the bottom of Utrecht, so the roads are full. Does that mean that not only the traffic on the A1 is hit: even the traffic on the A27, A12 and A2 will have to deal with much more delay than usual. Additional delays of an hour or more should not be ruled out.

The traffic from Flevoland HRT seemed too heavy to krijhgen, but now it is clear that there are three lanes are available between 5:00 and 10:00 from Almere to Amsterdam. Nevertheless, there also nuisances caused by watching the new situation and the road.

The impact of the closed A1 will be felt in a wide area. This means that traffic will shift to roads increasingly remote from the drop zone, so that there are additional disruption will occur.

Road users are advised to follow the traffic.



update 17:41 pm

Tonight and tonight the A1 was closed in both directions between junction node Muiderberg and Diemen. The closure is 21:00 tonight until tomorrow 05:00. Because the activities are to take the closure of the A1 to Amsterdam longer than planned.

In this live blog we keep you informed of the latest situation.



update 20:34 pm

While initially was left in the middle is now clear that all lanes of the A1 to Amsterdam will remain closed after 5:00 am Monday morning. How long will prejudge the work RWS can not say that the option for rush hour traffic to await the work is uncertain.

The road to Amsterdam is at 22.00 closed due to demolition.



Update 21:14 pm

At this time, there is still torn with which the work has been anticipated for many hours. That means that it is unlikely that the bridge tonight can be moved to the new location.

The A1 is closed in both directions tonight, but tomorrow comes around 5:00 am in

the direction of Amersfoort again open to traffic. Rijkswaterstaat not able to tell whether a new complete closure of the A1 will take place for the shift of the bridge at a later time.



Update 21:46 pm

Rijkswaterstaat is just that there still is a chance that it works out tonight. In that case all lanes Amsterdam open. Failing that, it is in the course of the night last night clearly. In that case, expect one or both from Amersfoort (A1) and Almere (A6) to release a lane. however expected that is not enough, so then detour via Utrecht are paramount.



Update 3:53 pm

It is not the road to Amsterdam succeed to release 5:00 pm.

The demolition work has been completed and the railway is almost in place, but the damage caused to the tarmac at the demolition of the old railway bridge is too large. To protect this road was covered with a thick layer of sand, but the surface of the carriageway towards Amsterdam has seriously suffered from the intensive demolition. By leaks of this work is not enough time to repair the damage before the morning rush hour begins.

That means the main carriageway of the A1 to Amsterdam can only be released in the course of the afternoon. In the morning rush hour traffic can therefore only use the AC path, which from Amersfoort only one lane is available. From Almere (A6) are up to three lanes available, but between 10:00 and 15:00 will even be a lane. Then with new asphalt main road.



Update 5:37 pm

The A1 Amersfoort is not free yet. RWS the crosses can not get off the road due to problems with the traffic signaling. It leads to confusion and congestion on the A1 at Diemen.



Update 5:53 pm

Because of the release of the roadway direction amersfoort chaos arises in Diemen. Road users wait there until the road ahead is all available.

Public Works is working to turn the underlying stations so the crosses fall above the road.



Update 6:02 pm

update 6:04 pm

The A1 Amersfoort is open.
