Road closure at Netherlands American Cemetery

Published September 18, 2019

From September 20, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. through September 23, 2019, at 6:00 a.m., and from September 27, 2019 at 7:00 p.m. to September 30, 2019 at 6:00 a.m., access to Netherlands American Cemetery will be affected by the closure of road N278. The opening hours of the cemetery are not impacted and gates will remain open from 9:00 a.m. through 5:00 p.m. as usual. Visitors can still access the gates  by foot, bike or scooter. 

Next-of-Kin and visitors traveling with WWII veterans during these dates should contact the cemetery staff at +31 (0)4.34.58.12.08 to directly coordinate with cemetery staff for alternate arrangements. For ease of access, we encourage Next-of-Kin and WW II Veterans visit the cemetery outside of the closure range.
