    Tips

    May 5, 2025

    In the 1960s and 1970s, as part of the then-prevalent car-friendly urban planning, a section of the canal surrounding the old town was covered over, and a highway, the Catherijnebaan, was built over it. Even during the construction phase, public protests formed, and in 2002, a majority in a referendum voted in favor of demolishing the street and restoring the Catharijnesingel. However, it wasn't until 2020 that the canal ring around the old town was finally closed again. This makes Utrecht one of the first cities in the world to not only redesign parts of its central car-friendly infrastructure, but to dismantle them without replacement. (Source: Wikipedia)
