Rail and Paving Work at Rijswijkseplein (Phases 2 and 3)

In early June, HTM and the City of The Hague began extensive and long-term track and paving work on and around Rijswijkseplein in The Hague. All trams passing through Hollands Spoor Station will be rerouted in three different phases.

Railway Construction Work

Phase 1: Completed

Phase 2: Saturday, July 18, through Sunday, August 16,
In Phase 2, work will be carried out on the tram tracks between Hofwijckstraat and De Haagse Toren on Stationsplein. Trams entering the city from Parallelweg and Rijswijkseweg will follow a modified route via Laakkade and Rijswijkseweg. Tram 11 will operate on a shortened route between Scheveningen Haven and the Wouwermansstraat stop. Trams entering the city from Parallelweg and Rijswijkseweg will be rerouted via Laakkade and Rijswijkseweg. As a result, some stops will be skipped. Replacement stops have been set up. The Hague Central Station remains easily accessible; please allow for extra travel time if your destination is The Hague Central Station.

Phase 3: Monday, August 17, through Sunday, August 30
In Phase3, HTM will be working on the tram tracks between De Haagse Toren and Van Maanenkade. The City of The Hague is working on the road from the Waldorpstraat intersection, under the railroad viaduct, to Spaarneplein. As a result, trams 15 and 17 will follow a slight detour, with some stops being skipped. HS Station and The Hague Central Station will remain easily accessible during this phase. The other tram lines that pass through Rijswijkseplein will follow their regular routes. This is the third and final phase of the tram detours due to construction work on Rijswijkseplein.
