Dommel Pass reopened
On Thursday morning, December 18, 2025, the Dommel Pass will reopen to pedestrians and cyclists. This is one month earlier than planned.
- Alderman Boersma cut the ribbon in the presence of the building contractor F.P.H. Ploegmakers.
- The first users of the bridge received Christmas cookies from the contractor to thank them for their understanding and patience.
- Since yesterday, the deer park has two more llamas: one llama was donated by the contractor to thank the volunteers for their cooperation in the creation of the new Dommelpasburg.
And we made sure that this llama is not alone.
Dommelpas Bridge and bike path
The Dommelpas Bridge and the cycle path between Koekoeklaan and Doormanlaan had been closed to all traffic since September 29. Pedestrians and cyclists were diverted. The reason for the closure was the replacement of the bridge and the redesign of the cycle path. This work has now been completed, one month ahead of schedule. The Dommelpas will now once again be a safe, sustainable crossing between Son and Breugel for many years to come.
Other activities in the Dommel Pass area
Poplar trees lined the bike path. These trees had reached the end of their lifespan and were therefore removed. The area will be redesigned next year. New trees will also be planted. The new design focuses on biodiversity, nature experience, education, and recreation. We willalsocontinue to address the flooding in Koekoeklaan next year.
