The Rijksweg 15 is a Dutch highway from the port of Rotterdam ( Maasvlakte ) to Nijmegen. Between Rotterdam Maasvlakte and the N15 road is called, then it becomes the A15 motorway. She walks past Tiel and Gorinchem. In Nijmegen she meets at the motorway junction Ressen on the A325.

It was originally planned that the Rijksweg 15 should lead up to Enschede. However, because near Arnhem Highway is not continuous (15 km highway missing), the second part was called Rijksweg 18 ( A18/N18 ).

Between the Knooppunt Ridderkerk and the Knooppunt Valburg is the A15 part of the E31.

The A15 forms an important link between the port of Rotterdam and the German Ruhr area. In addition, it is an important import and export axis; you can see that at the relatively high percentage of trucks.

Construction work

After many years the construction was completed on the A15. The entire section between Papendrecht and Hardinxveld was provided with a pavement. For this purpose, all the bridges were replaced. There were many problems, but the work was successfully Completed in 2006. 2007 then the section between Geldermalsen and Tiel was renewed and still completed the same year. The work between heroes and Malsen Tiel were much less extensive, so the work could be completed in a much shorter time. The last work was the renewal of the road surface between Echteld and Andelst.
