The western Suurhoff bridge on the A15, the main bridge towards the Maasvlakte, has been partially closed after cracks were discovered in one of its supporting parts during an inspection. Rijkswaterstaat took immediate action for safety reasons, closing two lanes and directing all traffic to use the emergency lane. This closure is expected to cause significant impacts on freight traffic, with an additional travel time of 20 to 30 minutes for road users. The old part of the bridge, built in 1974, is affected, but the new eastern part remains open for traffic from Maasvlakte to Rotterdam. Rijkswaterstaat aims to complete a new Suurhoff bridge by 2032.
