The railway bridge near Mook-Molenhoek. On the other side of the river is the town of Cuijk in the province of Noord-Brabant. The cycle bridge will be constructed from early 2019. From about the same time Cuijk will start constructing the last few kilometres of the fast cycle route MaasWaalPad.
The province of Gelderland is coordinator of 8 different administrative bodies which are building the route together. They signed an agreement to build this route in 2015. It is interesting that the website for this route only mentions seven local authorities: four municipalities and three provinces.
I think it is safe to assume that the 8th party is the national government, in this case the national road authority. The 8th party was the now dissolved City Region Arnhem-Nijmegen. Since the length of each part of the route in each municipality and province is different, the cost for each of the administrative bodies is different too. Here’s the list of the budgets.
Municipality of Heumen: €200.000
Municipality of Nijmegen: €400.000
Municipality of Cuijk: €400.000
Municipality of Mook and Middelaar: €400.000
Province of Limburg: €1.8 million
Province of Noord-Brabant: €3 million
Province of Gelderland: €8 million.Making the combined budget €14.2 million. The website states the total budget is €16.5 million. The difference, €2.3 million, will – most probably – have been paid by the national government now dissolved City Region Arnhem-Nijmegen.
An exceptional colour for a surface of a fast cycle route. The yellow asphalt is a reference to the dirt-road that this had always been.
