The estimated delivery date in 2027 will be shifted to the end of 2028 or early 2029, but whether that will be the last delay is waiting. A spokesperson for Rijkswaterstaat, ultimately responsible for the project, says that the service will come up with a new prognosis at the beginning of November. Then the minister is also informed.
Patrick Adriaans (SP) has a hard head in it that it stays with it. “Already in 2010 we were skeptical about the expected planning in the council. According to the first forecasts, the floor of the A9 should have been ready in the coming months. Almost every large project is estimated too rosy, but this is excessive.”
Rijkswaterstaat now says to investigate, which causes the delay exactly, and what risks the delay results in. Earlier this year, the road manager reported that exit 5 towards the Stadshart in 2026 and 2027 would close more than a year. Adriaans says that “they told us then that it was to accelerate the construction.” “I now wonder how much sense that really made.”
