N344 in Apeldoorn Shuts Until Monday for Emergency Water-Main Bypass

Crews work nonstop to safeguard the city's drinking water.

Overview

  • The N344 segment between Koningin Julianatoren and Pijnboomlaan, which closed Saturday at 18:00, is scheduled to reopen Monday at 07:00.
  • Officials report a burst main near the Vitens pump station on Amersfoortseweg and say a bypass under the road is needed to keep the water supply stable.
  • Both cycle paths along the N344 are closed, and access to Koningin Julianatoren and Paleis Het Loo is possible only from one direction.
  • Traffic is routed via the Soerenseweg, with buses using the same route and A1 matrix signs plus a Sunday traffic controller guiding visitors.
  • Vitens is working day and night to finish the repair, and authorities say delays are unavoidable but the closure will be kept as short as possible.
