Barrier
The largest wind barrier in the world (1750 meter; 129 sections; 25 meters high) had to be modified to make room for a rail connection (Theemswegtracé, 2021).
This barrier was designed by Maarten Struijs and Frans de Wit (1983), in order to protect ships in the Caland Canal.
The now retired Maarten Struijs invited himself to design this replacement section (144 meter; 27 sections; 24 meters high). It was completed in 2018.
The train track is nearing its completion.
