Major Morning Jams Cripple A4 and A12 After Accidents and Roadworks

Closures on the A4 parallel lane, the N434, the A44, the A20 have pushed traffic onto main carriageways, prolonging regional delays.

Overview

  • Long queues are blocking the A4 and A12 with the ANWB reporting roughly 30 kilometres of standstill on the A4 and more than one hour of extra travel time for drivers.
  • A crash on the A4 parallel lane near Leiden closed that route toward The Hague and forced vehicles onto the A4 main carriageway, creating sustained congestion.
  • A separate accident on the N434 via the Corbulotunnel closed the link toward The Hague and added pressure to already congested routes.
  • Planned roadworks have shut the A44 between Sassenheim and Leimuiden and the A20 at Maasdijk-Oost, removing alternate routes and widening the jams.
  • Authorities had not given reopening or clearance times at the report, leaving commuters facing long, uncertain delays across the The HagueAmsterdamUtrecht corridor according to Omroep West and ANWB.
