Road Accessibility and Traffic Updates for the European Softball Championship 2024

As the Women's Softball European Championship 2024 approaches, several developments related to road accessibility and traffic conditions have been announced.

Summary of Key Developments:

1. Increased Traffic on the A2 (14 August - 30 September 2024):
   Between the Oudenrijn and Everdingen junctions on the A2, extra traffic congestion is expected due to roadworks. This will likely result in longer travel times, particularly during peak hours.
2. Maintenance on Haarijnse Rading Access Path During the Championship:
   The access path named Haarijnse Rading, leading directly to the championship venue, will undergo maintenance during the event. This may result in temporary closures or restricted access at certain times. Visitors should follow alternative routes and observe any posted signs and instructions during these periods.
3. Installation of Detour Signs by the Municipality:
   To assist with navigation, the municipality will install detour signs around the affected areas. The latest version of these detour plans has been attached as a separate document to this message. These signs will help guide drivers around the roadworks, ensuring they reach the venue efficiently.
