Inner-city closed for traffic on Tuesday 26 and Wednesday 27 April
The inner-city of Maastricht will be closed for traffic from Tuesday 26 April at 11.00 until Wednesday 27 April at 7.00 because of King’s Day. This means that the front of FASoS (Grote Gracht side) cannot be reached by bike, scooter or car. You will be able to walk to FASoS and the bicycle shed will also still be accessible – but make sure to walk with your bike in hand in the area where traffic is restricted.
Please note that all bikes that are parked in ‘ring 3’ (so also on the sidewalk of Grote Gracht) will be removed as of Tuesday 26 April at 11.00. You will only be able to then retrieve your bike from the municipality after you pay a fine.
