Sunken N31 makes Harlingen one whole again

The N31 is the direct connection between Amsterdam and Leeuwarden. The road creates a division of Harlingen. By building a new road largely sunken, the visual division of Harlingen has vanished. In the new situation, the road crosses the Van Harinxmakanaal in the form of an aqueduct. Waiting times at the Koningsbrug for automotive traffic are a thing of the past. The railway is crossed ‘on different floors’, with the track running over the N31. The N31 has been...
