Regarding why the project was not postponed until school holidays, Van der Kolk said there is too little time during holidays to complete all necessary work on national highways.
Motorists on detour routes have reported significant impacts on travel times. "It really takes a lot longer to get to the location," said Mario, an affected motorist.
"That's just annoying, but it has to be done. It is what it is."
The project will also affect southbound commuters toward The Hague later in the week, with a scheduled closure of the A44 between the Burgerveen junction and the Kaag exit from Thursday, July 2, 2026, at 9:00 p.
m. until Saturday, July 4, 2026, at 9:00 a.
