A13 and A16 Closed – Traffic Disruptions for Trucks in the Netherlands

During the weekend of 24 – 27 October 2025, extensive closures are planned on key sections of the road network in the Rotterdam region – specifically on motorways A13 (towards Delft) and A16 (towards Rotterdam), as well as on roads N209 and N3.

The reason for these closures is the connection of the new A16 Rotterdam motorway to the existing A13 and A16 routes at the Zestienhoven and Terbregseplein interchanges. In addition, maintenance work will be carried out on the N3 road. Traffic will be diverted via detours, and drivers should expect additional travel times of up to 60 minutes.

Scope of Closures:

◾ A16 – section between Ridderkerk and Terbregseplein interchanges in the direction of A20 (Hoek van Holland/Gouda).
– Exits and entrances No. 24 (Feijenoord), 25 (Rotterdam-Centrum/Capelle), 26 (Kralingen), and 27 (Prins Alexander) will be closed.
– Exception: the Feijenoord (24) entrance and Centrum/Capelle (25) exit will remain open.
◾ A13 – section from Kleinpolderplein interchange to Delft-Zuid exit in the direction of Delft.
– Entrances No. 12 (Berkel en Rodenrijs) and 11 (Overschie/Spaanse Polder) as well as exit No. 10 (Delft-Zuid) will be closed.
◾ N209 – section between the intersection with N472/Boterdorpseweg in Bergschenhoek and the connection with Vliegveldweg (towards A13).
– All intermediate entrances and exits will also be closed.
◾ N3 – southbound section between A15 in Papendrecht and A16 in Dordrecht.

Rijkswaterstaat notes that entrances, exits, and connecting ramps may be closed up to one hour earlier than the official start of works.

Detours:

➡️ Traffic from A16 will be diverted via A15, A4 (Benelux Tunnel), and A20.
➡️ Traffic from A13 – via A15 and A4 (Benelux Tunnel).
➡️ Traffic from N209 – via N472/Boterdorpseweg–Klapwijkseweg and N470.
➡️ Traffic from N3 – via A15 and A16.

Rijkswaterstaat advises drivers and transport operators to plan routes and travel times carefully, and to follow road signs and information on detours.
