In the run-up to and during the NATO summit on Tuesday 24 and Wednesday 25 June, traffic measures will be in place at several locations in The Hague. The municipality calls on travellers to take this into account and, where possible, to opt for the bicycle or public transport.
During the NATO summit, The Hague will receive dozens of world leaders, ministers and thousands of delegation members. In order to ensure that this international event proceeds safely and orderly, additional closures will be necessary at various times between Thursday 19 June and Friday 27 June. These will concern both main roads and cycle routes.
