📋 Tender Overview
There will be an interim solution for the ban on heavy transport over the Kootstertille bridge. Heavy traffic in one direction will be allowed through the middle of the road alternately from both directions. Some heavy vehicles including Arriva buses can use the bridge with a special exemption.These measures make it possible that part of the heavy traffic can still use this bridge. For regular car traffic this can entail some waiting time. The province of Frysln has arrived at this measure together with Rijkswaterstaat. This is due to the significant impact of the current measures on public transport the surrounding companies and agricultural traffic.In order to be able to carry out this construction as quickly as possible traffic controllers are first deployed at set times. For example alternating use can already be made of one direction across the middle of the bridge. The traffic controllers are therefore deployed until smart traffic lights are installed. As long as traffic controllers are deployed the exemption is only valid from 0600 to 1930 on working days and from 0700 to 1930 on Saturdays.The structural problem of the bridge has of course not been solved with these measures. But Im glad that some of the heavy traffic can get over it again. We have all worked hard on this said deputy Avine Fokkens-Kelder.The measure will apply from 6 a.m. on Monday October 25. It is expected that approximately half of the heavy traffic will be eligible for such an exemption.
