Arch bridge to be installed over weekend

Following the installation of the bridge across Rozenburgsesluis in early April, the second steel arch bridge for the Theemswegtracé railway line will shortly also be installed on location – during Whitsun, to be precise…

…The bridge, of which the steel structure alone weighs in at 4,100 tonnes, is 269 m long and 13.7 m wide and stands 28 m tall. It will be spanning both the N15 motorway and the Thomassentunnel.

It will start its journey to its definite location on Saturday, 30 May, around 1 p.m. The operation will continue through Saturday, into the night…

…In the interest of our joint safety, the area around the project site will be closed to the public during the operation. This measure has not only been taken on account of the COVID-19 outbreak, but also to ensure that the structure can be safely transported to its final location…

…Various roads around Caland Bridge will be closed for traffic during the operation. Caland Bridge and the N15 motorway will be closed to motor vehicles from Friday evening, 29 May, 9 p.m. to Monday morning, 1 June, 5 a.m. On Saturday evening, 30 May, the Thomassentunnel/A15 motorway will also be closed from 6 p.m. to 11 p.m. for monitoring activities in the tunnel…
