Haarlemmerdijk partially closed for 18 months due to construction work

Haarlemmerdijk partially closed for 18 months due to construction work

Starting October 26, the Haarlemmerdijk in Amsterdam will undergo a long-term pipe replacement project that will last until January 2028. The work will cause significant traffic diversions and temporary utility outages for residents and local businesses throughout the construction phases.

Beginning October 26, the Haarlemmerdijk in Amsterdam will undergo extensive renovations to replace outdated gas and water pipes. Managed by Liander and Waternet, the project is expected to continue until late January 2028. The street will be addressed in various phases, beginning near the Eenhoornsluis, causing significant disruptions for local residents, business owners, and cyclists who rely on this route between the city center and the western districts. During the first week, the street will be completely closed, with traffic diverted to the Haarlemmer Houttuinen and Brouwersgracht. Following this, work will progress in stages toward Haarlemmerplein. Between 07:00 and 17:00, cyclists will be guided through a narrowed lane and a cycling lock to navigate the construction site. To facilitate these diversions, the traffic direction on the Brouwersgracht will be reversed, and some parking spaces near the Posthoornkerk will be removed for equipment storage. Residents and businesses have been notified that temporary water and gas outages may occur during the construction process.
