The Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV) has received the environmental permit for the renewal of the bridge over the E313 at Ven. The work is scheduled to begin in the spring of 2027 and will last approximately one year.

The renewal of the bridge over the E313 at Ven, located in Olen, is set to commence no earlier than May or June 2027 and is expected to last for about a year. The Agency for Roads and Traffic (AWV) has obtained the necessary environmental permit for this project.
The construction will proceed in three main phases. First, the new bridge will be built on the adjacent playground area. Once completed, the old bridge will be demolished and the new bridge will be moved into its place. Finally, the bridge will undergo finishing touches, and the local road Ven will be reconstructed at the bridge's location.
AWV plans to hold an information session for local residents to explain the detailed timeline, the various construction phases, and the anticipated traffic disruptions. The date for this session will be announced later; residents will receive an invitation in their mailbox in due course.
