Schipholweg closed from October 8 to 12

The Schipholweg near the Buitenrustbruggen in Haarlem will be closed to vehicle traffic from October 8 to October 12 for the construction of a new bus station facility. Motorists are instructed to follow marked diversion signs, while cyclists and pedestrians will continue to use existing alternative routes.

The Schipholweg near the Buitenrustbruggen in Haarlem will be closed to car traffic from Thursday, October 8, at 8:00 p.m. until Monday, October 12, at 5:00 a.m. This closure is necessary to facilitate the construction of a bicycle cellar for the future Haarlem Spaarnepoort bus station. To maintain traffic flow during this period, a temporary road is being installed over the work site. Motorists are advised to follow yellow diversion signs based on their specific destinations, including routes toward Heemstede, Zandvoort, the Haarlem city center, or the A9 motorway. While vehicular access is restricted, the impact on cyclists and pedestrians remains minimal. They are directed to use established alternative routes and the local underpass, as crossing the Schipholweg at the traffic lights by the bridge will not be possible. These infrastructure improvements are part of a broader development plan for the Schalkwijk area, which aims to enhance accessibility through projects like the new bus hub.
