In December 2016 the Koning Willem-Alexandertunnel was opened to traffic, a 4-lane tunnel built in two layers, which put an end to this situation.

The beltway around the city of Eindhoven, the so-called Randweg between the interchanges Ekkersweijer and Leenderheide, uses a system of local-express lanes.

The inner two lanes do not have any exits, so it is exclusively for express traffic passing the city of Eindhoven; it is considered a motorway (A2) with a maximum speed of 120 km/h (75 mph).

It does not meet the Dutch standards of a motorway (steeper grades near intersections and smaller bend radiuses), and has a maximum speed of 80 km/h (50 mph).

[3] Preparatory work is underway to start widening the A2 motorway between Het Vonderen junction and Kerensheide.

It is considered one of the mayor road work plans since the construction of the Koning Willem Alexandertunnel in Maastricht to ease traffic flow.

Next to the project between the junctions in Limburg, as described above, the A2 was being rebuilt at the following locations: Between interchanges Holendrecht and Oudenrijn, the road has been widened from six (2x3) to ten (2x5) lanes.
