Construction work blocks travel: traffic jam alarm for holidaymakers in the Netherlands!

Travelers planning their summer vacation in the Netherlands in 2025 must be prepared for significant traffic disruptions. The Netherlands is very popular with German holidaymakers who appreciate the short arrival times, the beautiful beaches and an excellent price-performance ratio. But extensive construction work will begin from May 2025, which will significantly affect the main roads A1, A4, A9 and the Amsterdam ring road A10. This could cause serious problems for travelers wanting to go to popular beach destinations such as Zandvoort, Katwijk, Noordwijk, Bloemendaal, Ijmuiden, Egmond and Bergen.

Traffic jams stretching for kilometers and waiting hours for hours are to be expected. The construction work is scheduled to last until October 2025, and the traffic situation will be particularly critical from August 20th to 24th, 2025, when the “Sail” festival takes place in Amsterdam. Traffic experts recommend avoiding travel during this period as traffic conditions could potentially collapse.
