Dyke reinforcement Lauwersmeer dyke-Vierhuizergat
The Lauwersmeer dyke in Groningen lies between Lauwersoog and the Westpolder. We are currently reinforcing this dyke. This will protect us from future flooding from the sea. After a period of preparation and joint planning, we began the work in 2023. The dyke reinforcement will continue to the end of September 2026.
