Due to the lack of east-west connections and the increasing traffic density on the existing routes, the construction of the RijnlandRoute is crucial. The new road connects Katwijk, via the A44, to the A4 at Leiden in the Netherlands.
All the ongoing developments in the region, including house building and business activities, will lead to even more traffic on these busy roads in the future. Therefore, the RijnlandRoute is also necessary to improve liveability in the region.
The RijnlandRoute has three main objectives:
- a better east-west connection for car traffic (between the A4 and A44 motorways)
- improvement of liveability in the Holland Rijnland region
- making spatial-economic developments in this region possible
