  TRAFFIC DISRUPTION ON THE A4 (Friday 17 April - Monday 4 May)

  From Friday 17 April at 11 p.m. until Monday 4 May 2026 at 5 a.m., Rijkswaterstaat will be carrying out major maintenance work on the parallel lane of the A4 between the De Hoek junction and the Ruygen Hoek-West service area, in the direction of The Hague. During this period, the parallel carriageway at junctions 3 (Hoofddorp) and 3A (Hoofddorp-Zuid) will be completely closed.

  What does this mean in concrete terms?

  * The parallel carriageway of the A4 towards Rotterdam will be closed
  * The connecting curve from the A4 towards Rotterdam to the A5 (towards Haarlem) will be closed
  * Junctions 3 and 3A towards The Hague will be closed
  * The Den Ruygen Hoek-West service area will remain accessible via the main carriageway
  * The extra travel time may be up to approximately 15 minutes

  Why is this work being carried out?
  The asphalt on the parallel lane needs to be replaced. The work is part of the major maintenance on the A4 that started in 2025.
