At the dike reinforcement in Marken, a new crossing for pedestrians and cyclists will be created. This place is also known as the cross in Marken. Here, the provincial connecting road and the path on top of the dike intersect. The contractor has applied for a permit to construct the new crossing.

Traffic Safe Crossing

The crossing will be adjusted to ensure it is safe according to national rules and guidelines. A refuge island will be placed between the two lanes. The crossing will be made more visible to cars. The maximum speed at the intersection will also be reduced to 50 km/h. Fences will be placed on the path on top of the dike for cyclists, requiring them to dismount or reduce speed.

Work Planning

The work is expected to start in October 2025 and will last approximately 3 months. During the work, there will be partial road closures, reducing space on the road, but Marken will always remain accessible.

Cables and Pipelines

Preparatory work is already taking place at the intersection. Network operator Liander is relocating cables and pipelines.
