Final result of the reconstruction of a medieval waterway in the Dutch city of Utrecht. This project started in 1998 and took more than twenty years to complete. No less than 1400 meters of water and banks was brought back in this manner like it was before 1969. Now the water is mainly used for recreation. Parks, eco and public space are an important part of the improvements.
The video of the motorway was taken in 2010 shortly before it was closed down permanently. The boat video was made in September 2020 at the opening of the new waterway. In split screen the trips by car and by boat are synced and merged into one to illustrate the enormous effort.
