A27 Upgrade Delays Other Road Repairs

The A27 highway south of Utrecht is shutting down for six weeks this summer for a major upgrade—widening a 23-kilometer stretch between Everdingen and Gorinchem, the country’s most congested road. Northbound lanes close Monday, reopening July 17; southbound lanes shut June 29, reopening August 3. The project includes a smart shoulder lane, new ramps, and a relocated bike bridge. This summer’s construction is the busiest ever, as aging infrastructure from the 50s and 60s demands urgent repair. But due to budget cuts, upgrades on the A7 and A28 highways are delayed until 2028, forcing officials to consider temporary fixes like lowered speed limits to prevent further damage.
