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 is putting an end to the plan that 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 to cost not 68, but 113 million.
