Road surface restored after cable work
Elia has restored the road surface in Merenseweg, Haag and Spendijk, where electricity cables were laid in a trench.
Work began on Monday, 4 October 2021 to re-lay the foundation and bottom layer of asphalt above the trench. Local residents' access to their driveways was at times blocked while the work was in progress. The current traffic rules continue to apply.
From Thursday, 7 October to Monday, 11 October 2021 Elia restored the road surface in Merenseweg, Haag and Spendijk. The entire width of the road surface was given a new layer of asphalt. The work took place in two phases, ending on Monday, 11 October 2021:
- In the first phase the road surface in Merenseweg, Haag and Spendijk was restored. Over the entire width of the road surface Elia removed the top layer in Steenovens and the road crossing towards McDonald’s. Local traffic was still able to drive over the bottom layer of the road surface. (Thursday, 7 October – Friday, 8 October 2021)
- In the second phase Elia laid new asphalt in Merenseweg, Haag and Spendijk. Since the asphalt had to dry, traffic was not allowed on these roads between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m., but they were then re-opened to traffic at 6 p.m. (Monday, 11 October 2021)
Haag and Spendijk closed during asphalting work
During the asphalting work on Monday, 11 October 2021 traffic was not allowed to drive on Merenseweg, Haag and Spendijk. You can use the road again starting at 6 p.m. All homes remained accessible on foot.
