Coentunnel reversible lane barrier struck again
A barrier at the Coentunnel reversible lane was damaged in a collision this morning, rendering the lane temporarily unavailable. The incident caused traffic delays on the A7 and A8, though Rijkswaterstaat has since reopened two lanes to help manage the flow of vehicles.
A collision involving a barrier at the Coentunnel reversible lane occurred this morning, leaving the mechanism damaged and the lane temporarily unusable. Fortunately, no injuries were reported, but the incident has caused significant traffic congestion, particularly for commuters traveling from North Holland. Delays are currently affecting the A8 and A7 motorways, as well as the area surrounding the tunnel.
Rijkswaterstaat is working to replace the damaged barrier. While the connecting road from the A8 to the A10 West was initially closed, authorities have since managed to open two lanes to traffic, helping to alleviate some of the pressure. This incident is not an isolated case, as road users have previously voiced concerns about the site's clarity, noting that the barrier has been struck numerous times in the past.
