From Monday, August 17, through Friday, August 21, between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m., Voorschoterweg near Lammenschansplein will be closed to vehicular traffic. This is necessary for the construction of the new Trekvliet Bridge. Vehicular traffic will be rerouted.

Steel sheet piles

Boskalis is installing long steel sheet piles for the new Trekvliet Bridge. Where possible, they are driven into the ground using low-noise methods. Where that is not possible, they are driven into the ground using vibration. The vibration caused by driving the sheet piles may be clearly audible in the immediate vicinity.
