A2 Reopens After Chaotic Weekend With Five More Full Closures Ahead

Officials urge drivers to use signed detours to ease pressure on local streets during the next closures.

Overview

  • Rijkswaterstaat reopened the A2 between Everdingen and Oudenrijn on Monday morning and scheduled five more full weekend shutdowns to replace 11 kilometers of asphalt from Friday 22:00 to Monday 05:00.
  • Diversion traffic clogged Vianen, Everdingen and Hagestein over the weekend in what the local mayor called "unacceptable" congestion, and drivers were asked to avoid cutting through towns.
  • Police in Nijmegen called in the army bomb squad overnight after a suspicious bag was found, and experts determined it held a modified battery that looked like an explosive but posed no danger.
  • Investigators said Monday the woman found dead Sunday in an Oss apartment did not die from a crime, and a baby from the home was taken to a hospital for care.
  • Police identified the person wounded in the Eelderwolde shooting as a 19‑year‑old from Midden‑Groningen and appealed for witnesses while no suspects were announced.
