In Amersfoort the news hit like a bomb. The controversial western bypass is going into the trash. The new coalition of D66, GroenLinks, CDA, ChristenUnie and Party for the Animals put a line through the plan this should ensure a better flow of car traffic. Soon there will only be a number of new bicycle connections and a safe bicycle tunnel under the railway. Closing the western bypass was practically unavoidable, as the costs were skyrocketing. The plan threatened not 68, but 113 million going to cost.
