On May 28, 2026, Rijkswaterstaat announced that it has chosen a preferred concept variant for the renewal of the A1 bridge over the Naardertrekvaart. The selected design involves building two new bridges, with the bridge piers moved and rotated to the side of the waterway. This approach improves traffic safety by widening the carriageway, creates more open space beneath the bridge, and reduces the risk of surprises by constructing a new foundation. The plan also includes a phased construction schedule that allows traffic to use one bridge while the other is demolished and rebuilt, maintaining maximum throughput on the A1. Future work will refine the exact width, pier placement, and assess environmental impacts such as nature, trees, noise, and air quality.
