The A27 towards Gorinchem is closed between Hank and Nieuwendijk due to an accident involving a car with a trailer where a tractor was parked. This happened on Thursday morning around a quarter past five at Hank’s. Because oil has leaked on part of the highway, Rijkswaterstaat is busy cleaning the asphalt.
It is not clear whether anyone was injured.
There is a traffic jam of more than 6 kilometers on the A27. From Oosterhout you have a half hour delay to Hank. That is why we have adjusted the diversion. From the Sint Annabosch junction it is best to drive via the A58, A16 and A15. It is not known how long Rijkswaterstaat will be working.
In addition to salvage work, Rijkswaterstaat also carries out repair work. The guardrail was damaged. There is also oil spread across the roadway; at least 300 meters of highway need to be cleaned. A zoab cleaner was called in to clean the road. After that, one lane can open, which will be around half past eight, Rijkswaterstaat expects.
The entrance to Hank is closed. The trapped traffic can easily pass the accident. A zoab cleaner has been called to clean the road, which will be around half past eight. The other lane will remain closed longer due to repair work on the guardrail. The lighting mast was also damaged.
