      I’m sure someone did the math (or some kind of maths, at least), but is this really a better choice than expanding railways?

      I understand the use of conveniently located rivers for logistics, but is digging a whole new canal (and constructing all the necessary locks, bridges and associated infrastructure) for slow moving river traffic really a more efficient way to improve logistics than expanding existing rail lines or building a new one?

      Edit: So according to Wikipedia a European Court of Auditors review in 2020 called the underlying assumptions and models into question, basically stating that this project doesn’t make sense because the future traffic projections are unrealistic.

      The article is too short. It doesn’t mention the bridge that will take ships up and over protected wetland. Also the construction crew is coordinating with historical and military institutions ahead of time for when the inevitably stumble upon unmarked graves and ordinance from the wars.

      interesting. Probably very high upfront costs, but then again, i live next to a canal that was dug in 1657. Once it’s there, it will be there forever…
