After the summer, a study will start on the possibilities to improve the livability in Krommenie, which is under pressure due to traffic nuisance from the N203.
In this so-called variants study N203 Krommenie, the positive effects on local accessibility and livability in Krommenie are included from the study Robust solution for a connection A8-A9. Part of the package Measures Krommenie/Assendelft will also be included in that variants study N203.
The conclusion of the research into a robust solution for a connection between the A8 and A9 is that there is currently no solution. Based on those research results, the province will not proceed with the elaboration of the Landscape Plan (Golf Course Alternative) and with the elaboration of the route along Kreekrijk. The alternative via the existing route along the N203 has hardly any effect on regional accessibility and poses a challenge regarding nitrogen and environmental effects. This alternative does have some positive effect on local accessibility and livability in Krommenie. Therefore, there are sufficient points of reference to start a variants study for this route after the summer, in which part of the package Measures Krommenie/Assendelft will be included. The Transport Region Amsterdam, municipality of Zaanstad, and residents will be involved in that variants study.
Measures Krommenie/Assendelft
The traffic nuisance from the N203 puts the livability in Krommenie and Assendelft under pressure. Therefore, the province is working together with the Transport Region Amsterdam and the municipality of Zaanstad on a number of measures to address the nuisance of the N203. The package Measures Krommenie/Assendelft consists of different components. Measures that do not affect the possible choices in the variants study will be addressed in the coming years. Think of the soundproofing guardrail and improving the bike path between Uitgeest and Krommenie. The measurement station from TNO is also included. Measures that do affect the choices in the variants study will be included in that study. After the summer, more clarity will be provided on which measures will be included in the variants study.
More information
In the coming years, hard work will be done by the province and the municipality around and on the Provincial Road (N203) in Krommenie. Think of renovation, major maintenance, and improvements. Various study projects are also underway, in which thoughts are being given to the future area around the N203 in Krommenie. The province and municipality are trying to combine the work as much as possible. In the planning of the work on and around the N203 you can find what will happen in the coming year. After the summer, more information will also follow about the variants study N203 Krommenie.
