Motorists still have to get used to the changes that came into effect last Saturday during phase 3 of Operation Ring South. This is what Approach Ring Zuid reports.
The west side of Julianaplein is now open in one direction, but the east side of Julianaplein and the southern ring road are closed. Traffic will be diverted via the rest of the ring road.
Due to the expectation that this will create additional traffic in the Helpman and Oosterpoort districts, various traffic measures have been taken.
Traffic from the Helperzoom tunnel is now required to turn right on the Helperzoom.
Car traffic driving through the Helperzoom tunnel from the direction of the Europapark must turn right towards the station until September 2. The Hereweg can be reached via the temporary road over the Kempkensberg (near DUO).
Temporary road over the Kempkensberg (until September 2)
Traffic that wants to head to Hereweg from Helperzoom can use the temporary road over the Kempkensberg. This is a one-way road in front of the DUO and Tax Authorities building. There are traffic lights at the junction with Hereweg.
The advice to car traffic is to follow the ‘through traffic’ signs. This video shows what the route looks like from the Helperzoom tunnel to the Hereweg.
Temporary driveway Meeuwerderweg
A temporary driveway from the Meeuwerderweg (Oosterpoortwijk) to the ring road will open on Saturday, May 4. This driveway continues to the old Helpman exit, which leads to Hereweg. This means that the residents of the Oosterpoortwijk have an additional option to travel over the train tracks until mid-July. The temporary ramp will close again on July 19 because the viaduct above the track will then be demolished.
