The Roovert bridge, located on the border of Ravels and Hilvarenbeek, will be closed to all traffic due to extensive maintenance work.

During the works, the damaged brick bridge railing will be replaced with a new one. The concrete edges of the bridge will also be renewed, and the roadway will be repaved. Additionally, a speed bump will be installed to improve traffic safety, and a wildlife tunnel will be constructed near the bridge to allow small mammals and amphibians to cross the road safely.
The road at the Roovert bridge will be closed to all traffic for the entire duration of the execution period. Passage will not be possible. Announcement signs will inform road users about the closure. Both Ravels and Hilvarenbeek will remain accessible via Goirle. No official diversion route will be signposted; road users must choose their own alternative route and should expect longer travel times.
The municipalities of Ravels and Hilvarenbeek, together with the contractors, are doing their utmost to carry out the works as smoothly as possible and to minimize inconvenience for residents and road users. However, the schedule may change due to unforeseen circumstances, such as bad weather.
