Illustrative photo: paul naveda / CC0The main carriageway of the A15 is closed between Knooppunt Vaanplein and Charlois because a person is in a dangerous position on a bridge over the motorway, Rijkswaterstaat, the national roads agency, said. Several emergency services are at the scene.
Traffic coming from Ridderkerk faces a delay of 50 minutes, Rijkswaterstaat said.
The parallel carriageway is also closed, on the orders of the emergency services, because of the security incident above the A15, Rijkswaterstaat said.
For traffic heading towards Den Haag and Europoort, Rijkswaterstaat said the better route is via the A16, A20 or A4.
With the main and parallel carriageways both shut, the A15 cannot be used between Knooppunt Vaanplein and Charlois in either lane set.
The agency's traffic information currently lists the A15 delay from Ridderkerk at 50 minutes.
