Overview
- The first of six A2 weekend closures between Everdingen and Oudenrijn pushed heavy detour traffic into Vianen, Hagestein and Everdingen.
- Rijkswaterstaat says it will decide this week on extra steps such as more traffic controllers and closing more cut‑throughs to protect village streets.
- A traffic controller at the Lekdijk in Everdingen was pulled from duty after drivers removed a barrier and acted aggressively.
- After a multi‑vehicle crash near Lexmond, the A27 reopened Tuesday afternoon once recovery and guardrail repairs were finished, according to the road authority.
- Police advanced separate cases, with a 52‑year‑old held in the Maarsbergen A12 assault as officers seek witnesses and a missing Samsung Galaxy A53 phone, and the Marechaussee arresting a 22‑year‑old Wednesday after a high‑risk chase near Emmen.
