And in and around most old Dutch cities you can find them in the canals and moats. The only difference is the size and modernity of this contraption. Some years ago in 2003 there were already experiments with a floating highway in the Mid-Dutch river-area Near Den Bosch. It worked fine and it is now part of the measures to keep the infrastructure of that region intact when there is flooding. The Citadel is a project that won't be built on open sea, but in a polder-area where in times of heavy rain, the water level can rise upto 2 meters with water from rivers coming from upstream. The Netherlands gets lots of rainwater from Germany and Switzerland and Belgium and France via rivers like Rhine, Maas and Waal. That water can be so much that it floods the lowlands downstream. And there such floating projects like Citadel could be just the thing to keep dry feet. To throw out a line to fish in most places is possible if you get a permit. In some places fishing is strictly forbidden, but that'll be something to see then and there.

What do they do if there's a storm w/rough waters? Floating roadway....seriously? What is the weight capacity? Are they allowed to fish off the balcony? this raises a lot of questions:
