Rijkswaterstaat and the contractor consortium Savera Over‑Bruggen have reduced the temporary closure of the Algerabrug from six to four weeks to carry out necessary maintenance. Work will replace the aging wooden deck bolts that no longer hold, install new brakes and motors to remove a wind‑speed restriction, and lay a new double asphalt and preservative layer on the fixed steel section. The shortened schedule was achieved by coordinating tasks that could run simultaneously, bundling the most disruptive work, and scheduling the most intensive activities for the summer months to lessen impact on users. Municipalities and emergency services were consulted to ensure safety and traffic management. Alternative transport hubs on both sides of the bridge and options such as cycling, public transport or waterbus were also promoted.
