Traffic chaos threatens: traffic jams for NRW vacationers on their way to Holland!
The Netherlands are very popular with holidaymakers from North Rhine-Westphalia (NRW), especially in May, where holidays and long weekends offer ideal opportunities for a short trip. The travel time for the various destinations in the Netherlands is usually between one and three hours. In view of the upcoming summer vacation, it can be assumed that these trends will continue to stop. However, travelers should be warned for the coming summer: traffic jams and traffic problems can be expected if you leave the motorways in NRW.
A central problem is an extensive infrastructure project, which is responsible for the Rijkswater State of the Dutch authority. From May to October 2025, extensive renovation work will be carried out on the A1, A4 and the A10 motorway ring. This construction work that affects bridges, tunnels and lanes lead to closures and diversions, which can lead to considerable traffic disruptions. For example, the A1 between Watergraafsmeer and Diemen is completely blocked from 9 to 26 May 2025 to the east, which redirects the traffic to the already heavily loaded A2 and A9.
events and their influence on traffic
In addition to the construction work, there are several major events on the program in June, which could continue to burden traffic. Amsterdam celebrates its 750th anniversary from June 21 to 24, and the NATO summit in the Hague will open its tents on June 24th and 25th. These events attract hundreds of thousands of tourists and could result in additional motorway closures. At the end of August the Sail event also takes place, which also brings numerous visitors to the region.
travelers are therefore recommended to consider alternative travel options such as the train to get to Holland. Despite track work at the Amsterdam train station, you should keep an eye on the rail connections. Before the start of the trip, it is advisable to find out more about digital warning systems and traffic information from the “Vaststaan of Feewegen” campaign. Vacationers should also plan more travel time, especially on routes A1, A4, A9 and A10 and, if possible, move their trips to the region late in the fall.
In view of the current developments and the expected traffic situation, vacationers from NRW have to be patient and develop a plan B to successfully design their travel experience in the Netherlands.More about traffic and infrastructure projects Read on Derwesten.de and ruHR24.de .
