• A10 Zuid to close for eight weekends in 2024 [2/5/2024]

  Between the end of June and mid-December 2024, Zuidasdok will be closing the A10 Zuid for eight weekends. These closures will cause serious traffic disruption and increased journey times.

  During these weekends, traffic will be diverted, but the exact details will depend on which part of the A10 Zuid is being closed. We have chosen to close the A10 at weekends because there is less traffic than on working days. Despite this, there could be delays of up to one hour. The diversion route will be signposted above and alongside the road. Here is a list of all the weekends:

  • Friday, 28 June – Monday, 1 July
  • Friday, 12 July – Monday, 15 July
  • Friday, 20 September – Monday, 23 September
  • Friday, 27 September – Monday, 30 September
  • Friday, 4 October – Monday, 7 October
  • Friday, 29 November – Monday, 2 December
  • Friday, 6 December – Monday, 9 December
  • Friday, 13 December – Monday, 16 December
