From 21 August at 21:00 to 24 August at 05:00, sections of the A12 and A27 close in one direction, pushing traffic toward shared alternatives.
What you need to know
Discovering an extra hour only after opening navigation on Friday evening is not necessarily a navigation failure. Several works can push traffic toward the same limited alternatives. Rijkswaterstaat confirms that the A12 toward Veenendaal closes between Lunetten and Veenendaal-West from 21 August at 21:00 until 24 August at 05:00, with the project page warning of up to roughly sixty minutes’ extra travel. During the same window, the A27 toward Gorinchem closes between Sint Annabosch and Hooipolder. NOS traffic information lists both periods. Hokimi’s judgement is that households should ask not only which detour to drive, but whether the journey must happen in the busiest window at all. Leaving earlier, postponing, using public transport or changing a remote-work plan may solve more than repeatedly recalculating a car route. Planning can still change, so official live information remains essential.
- Both main closures run 21 August 21:00–24 August 05:00.
- The A12 closure is Lunetten to Veenendaal-West.
- The A27 closure is Sint Annabosch to Hooipolder.
- Recheck Rijkswaterstaat live information before departure.
Hokimi field note: Confirm direction and junctions before assuming the closure affects you, then compare another time, public transport and the signed diversion. Do not turn residential roads into unofficial shortcuts. Families with children or a fixed connection should add at least the official delay estimate as buffer.
Dates, availability and external conditions can change. Confirm the latest information with the official source.
