Leimuider Bridge remains closed to shipping until tonight due to heat

The Leimuiderbrug will remain closed to shipping until tonight and throughout tomorrow morning due to technical malfunctions caused by expanding components in the heat. While road traffic can still cross the bridge, shipping is restricted to prevent further issues during the high temperatures. This measure follows a two-hour failure earlier today that blocked both road and water traffic.
