Closure of dyke passages tonight at 23:30 due to high water
During the night of Sunday, January 14, into Monday morning, January 15, we will experience high tide at sea. Rijkswaterstaat forecasts a water level of NAP +3.00 metre around 2:30 a.m. This means that the dyke passages coupures) in Delfzijl will close.
We will begin closing the area at 11:30 p.m. tonight. As a result, the harbour will be temporarily closed. Traffic will be rerouted via signs. Once the water level has dropped sufficiently and the road is clear of water, the roads will be reopened.
The dyke passages Delfzijl are always closed when the expected sea level reaches NAP +3 metre higher. The water level of NAP +3 metre expected around 2:30 a.m. on Sunday night. The protocol requires that the dyke passages closed three hours in advance. We carry out the closure in collaboration with our colleagues from the Hunze en Aa’s Water Board.
