Why not just make a green space? Whats the point of bulldozing and flooding the land underneath the highway? Did a representative for the mosquitos make this meme?

They’re Dutch.

They get all antsy-in-their-pantsy of they can’t see water from where they’re standing.

You mean bulldozing and flooding the land that they drained and paved? It was a canal before it was paved in the 70’s

Okay so in case you’re serious: The water was there first. They filled it in and built a road before reversing that.

IIRC it was a river before it was a highway, and they decided to restore it to it’s natural state.

Also, the river probably doesn’t suit the transportation of goods necessary for high population densities. Maybe an underground rail?

The dutch have more than one road (surprising, I know). Removing the eyesore won’t impact their shipping and transport

Removing a 4 or 6 way interchange absolutely would impact shipping and transport, which is why I suggested underground rail as a replacement.

You do realise rivers have been our highways for thousands of years?

Okay, pal, go ahead and transport 30,000 kilos of produce upriver within the next 2 days 16 times and tell me how efficient this river idea works out.

Spoiler: It’s gonna be terrible.

No, you don’t get it. The highway is still there, its just been flooded from global warming

THE MOSQUITO LOBBY

I KNEW IT

I’m pretty sure this meme is just suggesting making green spaces out of former highways, not literally turning it into a canal.
