Farmers’ actions again at highways, hay bales on fire along A28 near Harderwijk | News

Among others, the A1 at Bathmen, the A12 at Bunnik, the A30 at Ede, the A35 at Hengelo and the A50 at Apeldoorn are hit, according to the ANWB, which is surprised by these actions. “It is not the case that they are driving tractors on the road this time, but they are along the road,” said an ANWB spokesperson. The actions could cause complete disruption of traffic on the spot, warns the ANWB. For example, because road users are bothered by the smoke from burning hay bales.

On the A1 at the Beekbergen junction, the delay is half an hour just after 6.30 am, on the A50 at Beekbergen about 25 minutes. According to the ANWB, the A28 from Groningen to Zwolle near Staphorst is almost completely closed. Traffic can still cross the hard shoulder. The delay is also about 25 minutes there. It is unclear what caused the traffic jam. It may have to do with burning hay bales.

There are also delays on several N-roads, such as on the N48 at Zuidwolde and the N303 at Harderwijk. The spokesperson for the ANWB suspects that this is because tractors are on their way to the entrances or exits of the highways, or because there are already enough tractors at those entrances or exits, so they stop somewhere along the way.

The Gelderland and Overijssel police speak of various actions along highways in various places in Gelderland and Overijssel. “Take into account extra long travel times, adjust your journey where necessary. The emergency lanes are currently accessible for emergency services,” said the Gelderland and Overijssel police on Twitter.
