Sjors van Duren, mobility advisor of the regional body Stadsregio Arnhem Nijmegen recently explained: “The
city of Nijmegen is the project’s promoter for both the new bridge over
the river Waal and the connecting roads. In the scoping phase the plans
involved a level-crossing with the – at the time – ordinary cycle route
to the town of Oosterhout. During the development of the new Waal
bridge the project “RijnWaalPad”, which is the high-speed cycle route
from Nijmegen to Arnhem, was started. [Which incorporated the cycle route to Oosterhout.]
Although at first it did not seem possible to change the plans for this
crossing, there was a window of opportunity in 2011 when it was clear
there was room for a cycle bridge after all. It could cross over the new
road and would connect to the area around the Lent railway station.
Because the high-speed cycle route is high priority, the council of
Nijmegen, the province of Gelderland and the regional body ‘Stadsregio
Arnhem – Nijmegen’ were able to allocate funds, 4.8 million Euro, in a
time span of only two months.” Read more in Bicycle Dutch here
