Works Moerdijk bridge cause limited rail disruption A'pen-Rotterdam

During 2014-2015, the Moerdijk Bridge underwent another major maintenance. However, this was not carried out correctly, necessitating a complete renewal of the more than one-kilometre-long railway structure. The bridge lies on the route between the ports of Antwerp and Rotterdam. Goods trains have to detour via the Betuweroute or from Kijfhoek via Rotterdam and Utrecht. From there, trains continue to Den Bosch-Venlo or towards Breda-Roosendaal for rail traffic towards Belgium, among other places. As already evident from a survey of a number of actors earlier this month, no major problems are expected for rail transport on the north-south axis.
