The A2 stays open but loses a lane for six weeks

When a road is labelled open, few drivers budget an additional hour. Four lanes becoming three, close vehicle spacing and repeated braking can turn small daily queues into a predictable risk. The difficult part is not one diversion but recalculating every commute, pickup and north–south trip for six weeks. The project replaces fourteen kilometres of asphalt with quieter surfacing and works on barriers, signs, bridges, viaducts and the Bisde service area. Entries and exits should remain open on weekday daytime, but mainline capacity stays reduced. Any incident can therefore magnify an existing bottleneck. From 7 September 05:00 to 16 October 21:00, the A2 between Everdingen and Deil keeps three narrow lanes in each direction at 90 km/h; official extra travel time is about sixty minutes.

• The period is 7 September 05:00 to 16 October 21:00.
• Three narrow lanes remain in each direction.
• The temporary limit is 90 km/h.
• Official extra travel time is about sixty minutes.

Hokimi field note:Mark 7 September to 16 October as one continuous impact period now. If driving is necessary, avoid peaks and keep a one-hour margin. Schedule home-working or rail days before the first severe queue rather than changing only after a missed appointment.
