An uncompleted motorway: National Highway 50
North of Apeldoorn are the remains of a motorway. Construction started around 1936, but the work could not be completed during the Second World War. After the war, new insights emerged, and a different route was chosen. Large parts of the unfinished highway are recognizable as an open strip of land between strips of vegetation. A large pile of sand indicates the place where a viaduct was to be built. The spatial plans of the municipality of Apeldoorn ensure the protection of these special landscape elements.
