It is not clear exactly how many customers have been affected. Network manager Liander says that it concerns fewer than 30,000 customers. The expected end time of the malfunction is 4.30 pm.
Traffic lights in the affected environment do not work, says a spokesperson for Rijkswaterstaat. Around 28 bridges throughout the province cannot be governed. That normally happens from Leeuwarden. Due to the malfunction, the bridges cannot open for sailing traffic now.
On images of Omrop Fryslân you can see that municipal bridges do not work either. This way the women’s gate bridge remained open. In the meantime, an employee has closed it by hand. The traffic can therefore be over the bridge again.
The town hall in Leeuwarden is also without electricity and is therefore closed for the rest of the day. Supermarkets and other stores in the Frisian capital have also closed their doors.
There is a defective railway bridge between Leeuwarden and Akkrum, so there are no trains running. The Dutch Railways expect the delay to take at least 4.45 pm.
