Haarlem traffic artery closed: Schipholweg shut to car traffic
The Schipholweg in Haarlem is closed to car traffic until October 12 to allow for the construction of a bicycle basement at the new Spaarnepoort bus station. While motorists must follow posted diversion routes, pedestrians and cyclists are encouraged to use an underpass to navigate the area.
Motorists in Haarlem are facing traffic diversions due to the closure of the Schipholweg near the Buitenrust bridges. The road has been shut down since Friday evening and will remain inaccessible to car traffic until 5:00 AM on Monday, October 12, to facilitate the construction of a new bicycle basement at the future Haarlem Spaarnepoort bus station. Traffic heading toward the city center, the A9, Heemstede, and Zandvoort is being redirected along designated routes to manage the flow during the project.
While car traffic is heavily impacted, provisions have been made for pedestrians and cyclists. Crossings at the bridge traffic lights are suspended, but commuters on foot or bike can utilize an underpass to bypass the construction zone. A temporary road has also been established across the site to help navigate the area. Local authorities have provided detailed maps of the alternative routes on the official municipal website to assist travelers in planning their trips throughout the weekend.
