excursion Leidsche Rijntunnel
Description
With the creation of the new Leidsche Rijn district, the RW A2 effectively runs through the built-up area of the municipality of Utrecht. Between the
Utrecht-Woerden railway line and the Hooggelegen interchange, the motorway shifts about 100 metres towards the Leidsche Rijn urban district. This will therefore be a completely new road section. To prevent the motorway from being a wide barrier, splitting the city in two, it will be covered over a length of more than one and a half kilometres, by means of a tunnel. This will take place from the junction with the Utrecht-Woerden railway line to the junction with the Leidsche Rijn river.
A presentation will be given here on the widening of the A2 in general and the construction of the Leidsche Rijn tunnel
in particular. Followed by a visit to the construction site
