The Dutch government will extend the A15 motorway by 12km towards the A12 motorway as part of a new connection between Rotterdam and Germany.

Traffic flow in the Arnhem-Nijmegen region will be improved, according to the announcement. The 130km A15 currently ends in a pasture.

The new junction of the A12/A15 motorways will be named the De Liemers interchange, the same name as the region through which the road will run.

Officially called the A12/A15 Ressen-Oudbroeken, or ViA15, project, the cost will be around €860 million of which the province of Gelderland will contribute €400 million euros, the statement said.

A third of construction cost will be paid from toll fees. The toll charges will be temporary and will cease as soon as the necessary amount is raised. Construction is expected to begin in 2019 with the new road opening to traffic between 2021-2023.

Included in the project will be the addition of lanes to the A12 between Westervoort and the Oud-Dijk junction. The A15 motorway between the junctions of Valburg and Ressen will be widened.
