| The photo shows the situation of the Catharijnebaan/Catharijnesingel, probably around 2010 during the early construction phase, in short it has cost hundreds of millions, but see here how it has turned out now, via Google Maps. |
 |
| This is an animation image of how the project should ultimately take shape, see also via Google Maps, here. The water has been restored as part of a major project to restore the city's outer moat to its former state. The canal was partially filled in in the 1970s to make way for a highway. The full loop of the canal was reopened in September 2020. |

| Catharijnesingel Utrecht 12-09-2020 |
| In September 2020, Utrecht refilled symbolic the last stretch of the Catharijnesingel with a huge bucket of water. |
| The project was aimed at bringing back water and greenery in place of the highway that was there before |
| If Jan Bos, my father's uncle, had lived to see this, he would certainly have eaten his service cap!! |
