According to residents, what started as a much needed makeover for the side branch in Odoornerveen has run out of a deterioration of the situation. Where the road was previously full of holes, it has now become a narrow, unsafe route with unclear fall -back ports and poorly maintained verges. The frustrations among the villagers run high.
A local resident is clear: “The road has only become more dangerous. There have been fallback ports, but the road is so narrow that as a cyclist you have to go into the roadside if a truck drives along. People from the village do not even even even agree in the evening More by because they can’t see the fallback ports well. “
Eisso Kronenberg, chairman of Local Interest, acknowledges the problems and explains how it happened. “The road should have been half a meter wider, but because of the costs that did not happen. The municipality said that was no problem, because there were shifts. But that does not make the road less narrow.”
