“You have to assume it will get there” – Interview with Stijn Lechner by Cobouw.

An interview with Stijn Lechner, project director of De Lelylijn. Cobouw is a news and information medium focusing on the construction and real estate sector in the Netherlands.

‘Is the Lelylijn still viable? Project director Stijn Lechner and his team are investigating it over the next two years. “That 6 to 9 billion euros from the government is not based on anything,” he said.

Lechner has been commissioned by the region and the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management (IenW) to study the feasibility of the high-speed rail link between Lelystad and Groningen. As project director, he must keep a cool head. “There are many other tasks involved in this study. Infra, but also urbanization, housing, work facilities. All from the idea that there will be a Lelylijn there. Pretty bold.”‘
