Municipality of Venray takes next step in station area renovation
The municipality of Venray, together with involved partners ProRail, NS Stations, and Arriva, today officially kicked off the redevelopment of the station area. With the unveiling of the construction sign, the parties mark an important milestone: the project is now really getting started. The shovel won't hit the ground just yet. First, the construction team will further develop the design. The new station area will be ready by December 2027 at the latest.
Layout
The renovated station area will have a clear, overviewable layout. Traffic safety is paramount, with recognizable bike and pedestrian routes and separate traffic flows. Social safety also receives extra attention, among other things through better lighting. In addition, sustainability plays an important role. For example, there will be more greenery, the contractor will use sustainable and reusable materials, and there will be more space for bicycles, electric vehicles, and possible forms of shared mobility.
Of great value to Venray
During the kick-off, alderman Wim de Schryver and deputy Jasper Kuntzelaers, together with representatives of ProRail and Arriva, unveiled the construction sign. After further development of the design, the works are expected to start between October and December of this year. The execution will take approximately one year. By December 31, 2027 at the latest, the station area will be completely renovated. Alderman Wim de Schryver: "Our station is an important meeting place for Venray. For travelers, visitors, and residents. That's why I'm glad that we can really start today. With this new station area, we together ensure a nice, safe, and green environment where everyone feels welcome."
