A27 motorway (Netherlands)
Encyclopedia
The A27 motorway is a motorway in the Netherlands
. It is approximately 109 kilometers in length.
The A27 is located in the Dutch provinces North Brabant
, South Holland
, Utrecht
, North Holland
, and Flevoland
. It connects the city of Breda
with the Almere
. On its way, it passes the cities of Gorinchem
, Utrecht
and Hilversum
.
The northernmost section, connecting the town of Huizen
with Almere, has been opened in 1999.
between interchanges Galder and Sint-Annabosch is also being referred to as A27, next to the road's official reference number A58.
Technically this situation is incorrect, since the A27's official start is only at interchange Sint-Annabosch. However, the reference A27 has probably been added to the road signs to help traffic coming from Antwerp in finding their way from the A16
/ E19
towards the A27.
Besides, the 'shared section' with the A58 is part of the European route E312.
