In June, work on the N35 between Wijthmen and Nijverdal and the construction of a ring road around Mariënheem were halted. Work on the Azelo-Buren junction has also been postponed. “We are reaching the limits of what is possible,” Rutte said yesterday afternoon. “And that has to do with the fact that, apart from staff shortages and price increases, we are dealing with that enormous nitrogen issue. And so we have to solve that.”
