Construction of Gouwe interchange, mai 1938. This was the first dutch interchange without levelcrossings.

Construction of the new aquaduct has already started when this picture was taken in 1975. Gouda-junction still is intact, although the curved ramps to the local road are replaced by normal T-crossings.

In 1981 the new aquaduct is nearly finished. The old bridge is more and more a severe bottle-neck (no median, narrow lanes, no acceleration-lanes from Rotterdam and Gouda en when the bridge is not open, maximum speed is only 44 mph (with speed-camera’s). After the opening of the new road through the aquaduct the old bridge today serves local traffic. The bridge now has 2 wider lanes and a separate bicycle-road.

Hoevelaken interchange in 1954: not more than a tiny roundabout. Road number 1 still has only one carriageway. Road 28 to the north is only 3 miles long before it ends in the old road Amersfoort-Zwolle and also has only one carriageway. Road 28 to the south is still not built.

This picture is taken in march 1964 and shows us that the new motorway from Amersfoort-zuid (with “fresh” black pavement) has been linked to Hoevelaken (in 1962). Construction work on the A28 north of Hoevelaken is progressing well; in february 1966 the section Hoevelaken-Nijkerk would be opened as motorway.

Reconstruction work on Hoevelaken interchange has started. This picture of april 1967 shows the A1 has already been widened east of Hoevelaken. In september 1967 Hoevelaken-Terschuur (direction Apeldoorn) would be doubled. The road in front (direction Amsterdam) would get its second carriageway in september 1971.

Hoevelaken was reconstructed in the same way as Oudenrijn – using the “stuiver”-method. The cloverleaf was opened on december 21, 1971; this picture was taken one week later.

March 22, 1972. Hoevelaken has been transformed. Traffic flow was fine until the 1980-ies. Amersfoort was growing very rapidly in the last 2 decades and that created new traffic problems. Perhaps this interchange will be altered in de nearby future. Maybe not. Time will tell us.
