Part of Haarlemmerdijk closed for 18 months due to construction
A lengthy construction project beginning October 26 will disrupt the Haarlemmerdijk area of Amsterdam until January 2028. The multi-phase work will cause temporary utility service interruptions and localized traffic diversions, though pedestrian access to properties will remain available throughout the process.
Major construction work is set to begin on October 26 near the Korte Prinsengracht in Amsterdam, marking the start of an extensive project expected to last until January 2028. The multi-phase redevelopment will progress toward Haarlemmerplein and Kleine Houtstraat, eventually including work on the even-numbered side of the Haarlemmerdijk. Throughout the construction period, which takes place on weekdays from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM, residents can expect temporary disruptions to utility services, including four to six-hour interruptions in gas and water supplies. Local officials have confirmed that buildings will remain accessible to pedestrians throughout the duration of the project, though some entry points may be modified with walkways.
To manage traffic flow, the city has implemented a complex system of diversions for cyclists and delivery vehicles. The traffic direction on Brouwersgracht will be reversed between Binnen Oranjestraat and Nieuwe Wagenstraat for the duration of the project. While dedicated loading zones will be restricted during most phases, traffic controllers will assist with logistics, and the placement of a mobile bicycle lock will shift as work progresses.
