Intersection Nieuwstraat - De Bontstraat temporarily closed

This is an old post.

Due to the construction of a sewer connection for the Nieuwe Vloed housing project, the Nieuwstraat - De Bontstraat intersection will be closed from Thursday, Sept. 3 through Thursday, Sept. 10.

  • Motorists wishing to travel via Nieuwstraat towards Ekkersrijt or Eindhoven will have to detour via the A50.
  • Traffic coming from Eindhoven or Ekkersrijt (Eindhovenseweg and/or Kanaalstraat) towards Son will also have to detour via the A50. Detour signs will be placed. 
  • Pedestrians and cyclists can continue to go along New Street, but cyclists may have to dismount.

Residents and emergency services will be informed by the contractor. The residents' letter lists Koen van den Tillaart of contractor Grasveld Civiele techniek as the contact person for questions about this work. He can be reached at 0492 468219.

Arriva and Hermes bus routes will have modified schedules during this work.

New Street will be open to through traffic again on Friday, Sept. 11.

Further work is taking place in De Bontstraat between the junction with Nieuwstraat and the junction with Jasmijnstraat, which will be completed around the weekend of Saturday, September 19. De Bontstraat, and thus the entire De Vloed neighborhood , will therefore only be accessible from September 3 to approximately September 19 via Zandstraat.
