The announced period
On 18 September AWV announced a full closure of the Kerkhofstraat (N118)/Hovenstraat junction in Retie from 28 September through 30 October, with motor traffic diverted via the R18 and N18. Timing depends on construction and weather conditions.
Checking the final approach
Editorial advice: for an address near the junction, establish which side provides actual access to the gate during works. Pedestrian access to a building does not imply truck access. The consignee should check the site and specify where stopping and turning are possible.
Before booking the vehicle, share its length, weight and unloading method. If the consignee proposes another handover point, record its address and responsible contact. A last-minute verbal change can disrupt the agreed delivery sequence.
Recurring deliveries during the works
For repeated deliveries, prepare a temporary instruction with a verification date: entrance, warehouse contact, receiving window and confirmed diversion. Share it with every operator. Replace the old instruction when traffic arrangements change so drivers do not receive conflicting versions.
Estimate the full journey to unloading and possible changes in stop order. Do not add an arbitrary surcharge or promise a fixed number of minutes: the diversion’s impact depends on origin, arrival time and vehicle characteristics.
Frequently asked questions
Must every delivery in Retie be rescheduled?
There is no basis for doing so automatically. First check the actual address, available access and receiving arrangements.
