Roadway across Bookholt shut down
In the heart of Bookholt, a significant development is underway. The vital transportation route, the bridge over the South-North Canal at Schuetzenplatz, will be closed from Thursday, July 3, 2025. This closure is due to an emergency repair, as the company Eurovia takes on the necessary renewal of the bridge surface.
The local authorities are urging residents and commuters to plan their travel accordingly due to the bridge closure. The bridge, a crucial artery for the local community, is currently closed, and the work on the surface renewal is expected to last until the end of July.
This closure is causing delays and congestion in the local area, affecting local traffic significantly. To alleviate some of the disruption, alternative routes for local traffic in Bookholt are being advised. The local authorities are working diligently to ensure smooth transitions for those who rely on this bridge for their daily commute.
The safety of the community is paramount, and the bridge will not be safe for traffic until the repairs are completed. The bridge closure is a necessary step to ensure the bridge's longevity and the safety of those who use it.
The closure of the bridge is not a decision taken lightly. The local authorities acknowledge the inconvenience this may cause and appreciate the patience and understanding of the community during this time. They encourage everyone to stay informed and to plan their travel accordingly to minimise disruption.
In the coming weeks, the bridge will reopen, stronger and safer than ever. Until then, let's work together to navigate the temporary changes in our local transportation network.
