Huismansingel is part of the main infrastructure of the TU Delft Campus. Over the next few years, the TU Delft Campus is set to be rejuvenated and improved, as explained in the TU Delft Campus Strategy. The work is also intended to improve mobility and accessibility. The volume of traffic has risen in the past few years and is expected to continue rising in the years to come. As an important ‘pillar’ for the area development of the TU Delft Campus South, Huismansingel is in need of reconstruction and a new design.

Huismansingel as a high-quality entrance

The reconstruction and redesign of Huismansingel will improve traffic safety and the traffic flow from and to the N470 and A13. In addition, the new design will showcase Huismansingel as a high-quality entrance to the TU Delft Campus. The new design comprises the following elements:

• Traffic safety: Space is being created to accommodate the increase in the volume of car and bike traffic. The first step will be to widen the road and create a two single-lane road. The technical condition of the roads will also be improved.
• Traffic lay-out: The existing traffic lay-out, with two consecutive crossroads (with Molengraaffsingel and Cyclotronweg) will be reconstructed to provide a single crossroad (improving the connection with the N470/A13). This means that traffic coming from Cyclotronweg will be directed via Molengraaffsingel, and traffic coming from Adri Boslaan via Watermanweg.
• Appearance: A wide, green central reservation will separate the two lanes, with a clearly marked outer boundary formed by cycle lanes, footpaths and avenues of trees. This will add to the allure and boost the natural and ecological quality of the area.

Planning*

Start construction – October 2025

• Week 41–42 (6 to 19 October): Start of culvert installation
• Week 43–51 (20 October to 19 December): Installation of new culverts under the road, construction of new west-side carriageway + underground infrastructure
• Week 45–51 (3 November to 19 December): Bicycle and pedestrian path on the east side
• Week 2–8 (5 January to 20 February): Bicycle and pedestrian path on the west side
• Week 2–12 (5 January to 13 March): New east-side carriageway
• Week 12–16 (16 March to 17 April): Bicycle and pedestrian path on the north side of Heertjeslaan + connection to Huismansingel

Sustainability goal

Circular materials will be used in the design and construction wherever possible.

How will the reconstruction and redesign of Huismansingel affect me?

TU Delft is working on plans to reconstruct Huismansingel. The municipality of Delft is testing these plans, among other things, for road safety and uniformity within the municipality. The basis of these plans is a traffic study for a safe and future-proof Huismansingel. Traffic lights will soon ensure a safe traffic situation on an increasingly busy southern part of the campus. The municipality of Delft has reviewed this and approved the changes.

Work will take place on Huismansingel itself in autumn 2025. Initially, it concerns the area between the intersection with Molengraaffsingel and Watermanweg, and Heertjeslaan. This includes groundwork, the construction of culverts and asphalting work for the partial re-routing of Huismansingel. The works will cause some disruption and possible delay, partly due to planned detours via Molengraaffsingel. The period of disruption and detours will be kept to a minimum.
