Provinces:

The Rijksweg 16 is a Dutch motorway Antwerp and Rotterdam together. Guides you through the provinces of North Brabant and South Holland.

The highway passes through three major rivers, the Hollands Diep ( on the Moerdijkbrug ), the Oude Maas ( by the Drechttunnel ) and the Nieuwe Maas (via the Van Brienenoordbrug ).

The A16 is available throughout the course of the European Route 19 In addition, always a lot of tourists are on the A16 road, which means especially in the summer comes there is often traffic jams and congested traffic. South of Breda carries the highway past the expanded forest area Mastbos.

Non-existent exits 1-13

Through the Joint route of the A16 with the A58 between the Knooppunt Galder and the Knooppunt Princeville there is in the area a common junction of the two highways, exit 15 Had numbered A16 normal, starting from 1, then you would have to number them exit twice. In order not to have to do this starting with the A16 junction 14, exit 15 thus has only a number. This method is in the Netherlands on several highways carried out such as on the A2 and the A67.

Original plans

It was originally planned that the Rijksweg 16 should begin in the north of the Rotterdam district Terbregseplein from there east of Zoetermeer and suffering, past Hoofddorp, Haarlem, west should pass run at Assendelft, Alkmaar and Schagen up to Van Ewijksluisv the north of the province of North Holland. Where then in the N9 (now N99 ) should result. In the late 1970s, this planning were discarded. The only thing that is left of these plans, the Wijkertunnel is running the A9 today by the.

Conjunction with the A13

Between 2012 and 2014, the A16 is to be extended by 10 miles and connected to the A13. The route is to pass to the A13 near Delft past the Rotterdam airport from Knooppunt Terbregseplein. The work will be carried out simultaneously with the work on the A4.
