Improvements to the roundabout at Evertsenplein

The Rijksstraatweg/Amnesty Internationallaan roundabout is an important roundabout for Hellevoetsluis. There have been concerns about the traffic safety of this roundabout for some time, as it is used by cars, buses, cyclists, scooters, and pedestrians. The municipality is therefore going to improve the roundabout. 

In April 2024, the bicycle crossing on the north side was moved further away from the roundabout. This has improved visibility for road users. From February 2026, we will also move the other three bicycle crossings further away from the roundabout.

Planning and phasing 

The work, which will take place from Monday, February 2, through Friday, April 3, includes paving work to relocate the central reservations, bicycle paths, and footpaths. We will also be replacing the top layer of asphalt on the roundabout and installing illuminated pedestrian signs.

The work will be carried out in three phases, during which traffic will largely continue to flow. Only during the final phase of the work will the roundabout be closed at night on working days. A diversion route will be in place during the closures. This will be indicated by signs. Traffic controllers will also be on site to provide directions.

Phase 1 - Sections 1 and 2 

  • When: Monday, February 2 through Friday, February 20.
