What do the roadworks in 2025 mean for your shipments?

Roadworks 2025: what’s on the agenda?

The roadworks on the A27, A12 and A58 are among the most impactful projects of the year. Various sections will undergo asphalt renovations, bridge replacements and lane expansions. This will lead to narrowed lanes and temporary closures, often during peak hours, weekends or nights. As a result, traffic congestion will increase and certain regions – such as Utrecht, Arnhem, Breda and Zeeland – will become less accessible.

Since our drivers travel these routes daily, disruptions immediately affect the entire chain: from picking up goods at suppliers to delivering them to customers. This requires extra care in planning and flexibility in execution.

How E. van Wijk Logistics anticipates these challenges

We monitor daily updates from Rijkswaterstaat and regional authorities, allowing us to detect roadworks early and adjust our planning on time. Thanks to dynamic route planning based on real-time traffic information, we can immediately adapt our routes when congestion or closures occur.

In addition, we communicate proactively with our customers about possible delays or route changes. This way, you always know what to expect and can anticipate accordingly.

Flexible solutions within our logistics network

To minimize disruption, we deploy alternative routes when main roads are less accessible. Thanks to our multiple branches and hubs in the Netherlands and across Europe, we can efficiently reroute shipments, shorten routes, or avoid bottlenecks.

We also actively collaborate with customers to strategically plan delivery times. By spreading deliveries or scheduling them outside peak hours, we use our capacity more efficiently and reduce the risk of delays.

What can you do to reduce disruption?

You can help by providing your delivery preferences to your dedicated contact person in good time. The earlier we know your requirements, the better we can tailor transport to your needs. Consider spreading deliveries and choosing alternative time slots to avoid peak traffic.

Also, make use of our planning expertise: our experienced planners are happy to advise you on the most efficient routes and delivery times.

Delivery reliability, even during disruptions

Even in a year with major roadworks, our goal remains the same: delivering your shipments safely, on time and as agreed. By continuously monitoring, adjusting and acting flexibly, we ensure your logistics keep running as you have come to expect from E. van Wijk Logistics – reliable, high-quality and efficient.
