This work to remove the Oude Singel (water out!) and turn it into a "sunken" four-lane motorway is now a thing of the past in 2019, where in the photo above the cars are still driving, has actually become again a Singel with water, in short it has cost hundreds of millions, but see here how it has turned out now, via Google Maps. |
The way it should look in the end anno 2020 - The Singel is round again |
Catharijnesingel Utrecht 12-09-2020 |
In September 2020, Utrecht refilled symbolic the last stretch of the Catharijnesingel with a huge bucket of water. |
If the Bridge Keeper from then, Jan Bos had known all this, the man would have turned around in his grave! |
