Rotterdam’s Bridge Crisis Hits Hard | Amsterdam News

from Amsterdam News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Rotterdam’s traffic nightmare just got worse as two key bridges shut down, forcing commuters and freight haulers to scramble for alternatives. The Papendrechtsebrug is closed for nine months, while the Merwedebrug bans big trucks, clogging routes and stretching commutes. Officials admit the fallout is tougher than expected, with people turning to ferries and apps for help. Rijkswaterstaat urges remote work and off-peak travel, while long-term upgrades to the nation’s busiest bridge loom on the horizon.
