Night works in the Beneluxtunnel. A4 completely closed on 8-9 December

During the night of 8–9 December 2025, drivers will face major disruptions on the A4 route in the Rotterdam area. Rijkswaterstaat has announced a complete closure of the Beneluxtunnel in both directions, as well as of exit no. 16 Vlaardingen-Oost.

The restriction will be in force from Monday, 8 December, at 21:30 until Tuesday, 9 December, at 5:00. The night-time closure is being introduced due to scheduled maintenance works. Authorities note that entries and exits may be closed earlier to prepare the tunnel for technical operations.

➡️ Transit traffic will be redirected to the Rotterdam Ring, which will increase travel time, especially for heavy goods vehicles. For cyclists and scooter users, a free shuttle service will be provided through one of the tunnel tubes. In the event of incidents, emergency services will have access to tube C.
