Talks started almost ten years ago about the construction of a transferium along the A28 at De Punt. It is a kind of traffic interchange, with two hundred parking spaces and bus stops for the express buses from Qbuzz to Groningen. There will also be new ramps to the A28, which should be safer than the current ones.
The Tynaarlo city council approved the plan in 2017. The project seemed to be able to go ahead, until the nitrogen ruling by the Council of State threw a spanner in the works. The transferium must now be constructed nitrogen-free. The province is investigating whether there are possibilities for this.
The arrival of the transferium is still met with resistance, because it would be pointless and would damage nature. People fear, among other things, the adjacent Drentsche Aa National Park.
