Why not just make a green space? Whats the point of bulldozing and flooding the land underneath the highway? Did a representative for the mosquitos make this meme?
21 0 ReplyOkay so in case you're serious: The water was there first. They filled it in and built a road before reversing that.
13 0 ReplyIIRC it was a river before it was a highway, and they decided to restore it to it's natural state.
12 0 ReplyYou mean bulldozing and flooding the land that they drained and paved? It was a canal before it was paved in the 70's

They get all antsy-in-their-pantsy of they can't see water from where they're standing.
3 0 ReplyAlso, the river probably doesn't suit the transportation of goods necessary for high population densities. Maybe an underground rail?
3 0 ReplyYou do realise rivers have been our highways for thousands of years?
6 0 ReplyOkay, pal, go ahead and transport 30,000 kilos of produce upriver within the next 2 days 16 times and tell me how efficient this river idea works out.
Spoiler: It's gonna be terrible.

4 0 ReplyI don't think the Goudvis cargo ship's 18 Meter Width is going to fit in the canal depicted above in Utrecht, just a hunch. I can't speak for this cargo ship specifically but cargo ships in general are incapable of going upriver.
1 0 ReplyFeel free to nitpick this random image I got from the internet somewhere, but if you're really that worried; there's still a road next to the canal.
3 0 ReplyYou're complaining that I gave your low effort reply a decent counter argument? I feel like that's a you problem.

The dutch have more than one road (surprising, I know). Removing the eyesore won't impact their shipping and transport
4 0 ReplyRemoving a 4 or 6 way interchange absolutely would impact shipping and transport, which is why I suggested underground rail as a replacement.
1 0 ReplyAs neither of us are civil engineers, I'm going to stick with my intuition on this until you can provide proof of impact.
2 0 ReplyYou have no idea of my titles, but thanks for reiterating that you have no idea what you're talking about.
