The Zernike Bridge on Professor Uilkensweg will be closed to car traffic from east to west (from Zernike towards Reitdiep) from Monday, May 4 at 05:00 until Friday, July 3 at 06:00. Traffic in the opposite direction will still be able to use the bridge. Cyclists can cross the bridge in both directions, and buses will also continue to operate with guidance from traffic controllers.
Detour routes
Car traffic from Zernike towards Reitdiep and Zuidhorn will be diverted via the northern ring road (N370) and the N355.
Maintenance work
The municipality of Groningen will carry out major maintenance on the Zernike Bridge. The bridge consists of two sections, and work will be carried out on one section at a time. This allows traffic to continue using the other section. The direction of travel will not change during the works; only traffic heading towards Zernike will be able to use the bridge.

A much-loved tradition The Campus Trail has become a much-loved tradition on campus. Students, employees and professionals from companies and organisations across the campus ecosystem lace up their running shoes for a sporty 6.4-kilometre route through buildings and past some of the campus’s unique labs. The rapid growth in registrations shows just how much the Campus Trail has become part of the campus community. The combination of sport, meeting others and the unique campus setting makes the run a great opportunity to connect with people outside the usual work and study environment. And there’s no need to head home as soon as you cross the finish line. During the after-party, hosted by Contini Catering, participants can relax together, enjoy a drink and celebrate the afternoon. There’s still time to join: those who want to take part can register online until 3 September, or sign up on the day itself using the PIN Campus Trail 2026 | Campus Groningen.
