All tunnels in the city closed for a short time in the late afternoon due to a false fire alarm. Most of the tunnels were able to reopen quickly, but the IJtunnel only opened around 7 p.m.
–
The tunnels closed around 4.45 pm, which caused many problems, especially around the IJ tunnel. “People have been stuck for twenty minutes now. People are now also driving against traffic in order to make a detour, ‘said one of the drivers. After that, the police diverted all traffic. There were also officers in the center.
According to a spokesman for the municipality, this was a false fire alarm in the traffic control center, so that the tunnels had to be closed as a precaution. The IJtunnel remained closed longer because another technician had to go there.
