Meerzicht Avenue reopened to traffic

Meerzicht Avenue is back open to traffic on both sides. Hard work continued today to repair the damage to the road, this allowed the road to open earlier than expected.
Part of the bike path to the left of Meerzichtlaan will remain closed. Cyclists there (with bikes in hand) can use the footpath to bypass the closure (see photo).

Friday, Jan. 3, 9 a.m.
Meerzicht Avenue is completely closed between Abdissenbos and Bredewater due to a water main break. Due to the break, a lot of water is flowing over the road, causing asphalt to be washed away. The entrance and exit to the Meerzicht neighborhood from the Afrikaweg is therefore not accessible. Road users are advised to drive via the Amerikaweg.
The fracture occurred during the night and work is currently underway to repair the fracture and the road. At this time, it is not known how long the work will take. As soon as more information is available, we will share an update through our social media channels and on our website.
