Hambrug closed for three months for cyclists and pedestrians

Starting Monday, 13 January 2025, the Hambrug bridge in Delft will be closed for major maintenance. Cyclists and pedestrians will need to take alternative routes via the Sint Sebastiaansbrug or the Abtswoudsebrug during this period.

The works are scheduled to last until Monday, 7 April, and travellers are advised to allow extra time for their journeys. Detour routes will be clearly marked on-site.

Rowers

The province is undertaking various works to enhance the safety and functionality of the bridge. These include upgrading the bridge controls and software, applying a new wear-resistant surface, and raising the pedestrian path to improve separation from the cycle lane. Additional measures will also be implemented to prevent ice formation in winter, and the bridge will receive a fresh coat of paint.

There is some good news for rowing clubs Laga and Proteus: the waterway will remain passable. However, a waterway closure will be in effect from 06:00 on 20 January to 16:00 on 31 January, and again from 06:00 on 18 March to 06:00 on 7 April.

Every 15 years

The works are part of routine maintenance on movable provincial bridges carried out every 15 years. For more information and updates on accessibility, please consult the project page.
