📋 Tender Overview
During work on the Bosrandbrug N231 over the Ringvaart in the municipality of Haarlemmermeer a defect was discovered on the bridge.As a result the bridge can no longer be operated and shipping traffic is obstructed. Road traffic can continue to use the Bosrand Bridge and will not be inconvenienced.The Bosrand bridge is raised and lowered by a hydraulic system. During repairs to this system the cylinders turned out to be in such a bad condition that they had to be replaced and operation of the bridge is no longer possible. It is expected that it will take until the end of February 2021 before the bridge can be operated again. Due to the planned work on the nearby Leimuiderbrug the eastern route via the Ringvaart is expected to be closed to shipping until 2 April. Ships under 1.2 meters can continue to sail under the bridge. Ships that are higher must take the alternative route via the western Ringvaart.
