Because of road work, you have to take extra travel time into account. The A7 Afsluitdijk will remain open to road users as much as possible during the large-scale renovation. If work has to be carried out on the road, one lane will be closed to traffic (always on different parts of the road). From May to September 2022, a lot of work will take place at the same time on the Afsluitdijk. For both road and shipping traffic, the Afsluitdijk is always busier in summer than in winter.
Bicycle bus
Safe cycling and walking on the Afsluitdijk is not possible during the work on the dike. The cycle paths are closed. That’s why we offer cyclists and walkers free transport across the Afsluitdijk with the bicycle bus. The stops are easy to find thanks to the pink bicycle signs.
