View of the construction of a new lifting bridge on the canal at Groene Dijk in Assen.

The existing bike path has been moved towards the camera and a new crossing will be installed to cross the road (in one go and with no obstacles).

The bike path is about the same width as a single lane of the road. No bike path follows the line of the road to the left of the photo as there are only relatively major (i.e. 70 km/h speed limit) roads in that direction. There is a perfectly sensible way to travel in that direction at the next left turn, by the existing bridge (just visible at the left of the photo) which is going to be left for cycles and local cars only.

The surface quality of this path is already very good even though it has yet to receive its top layer.

A different view is shown in #12106
