Good news for Zevenaar and the region: the ViA15 is finally coming. In October 2024, the Council of State approved the road’s construction. On July 3, 2025, Rijkswaterstaat (the Directorate-General for Public Works and Water Management) and the GelreGroen construction consortium signed the new contract.
Preparations in Full Swing
The initial work will begin this fall. This includes relocating cables and pipes, felling trees, and constructing temporary construction roads. In early 2026, GelreGroen will begin widening the A12 and constructing the new Zevenaar Oost on- and off-ramp near Hengelder.
What does this mean for 7Poort?
This will further improve the accessibility of 7Poort Business Park.
- The new Zevenaar Oost on- and off-ramp will be completed by the end of 2027.
- The A12 and A15 will be widened by 2029.
- The A15 will be fully extended by 2031, completing the project.
With these developments, 7Poort will have a direct and fast connection to the highway. This will make the business park even more attractive to entrepreneurs and strengthen the region’s economy.
