Traffic measures

To make King’s Day April 26 a festive day with accompanying live broadcast, many preparations are needed. Construction of stages, cameras, bleachers and scenery begins about a week before the event. From then on, we will close some roads and parking lots to allow for safe construction. Toward Saturday, April 26, the number of closures and measures increases. After the event, dismantling takes several days. The closures and measures will then be lifted incrementally.

The map shows the closures and measures in place in and around the center. A visitor’s map with information on (bicycle) parking for all visitors to the event will follow shortly. We may still have to make minor adjustments to the measures. The latest information is always on this website.
