Lewedorp–Vlissingen Sloehaven Railway

Lewedorp–Vlissingen Sloehaven Railway

The Nieuwe Sloelijn is a railway line intended for freight transport between the Zeeuwse lijn (railway line between Roosendaal and Vlissingen ) and the Sloe area. This railway line (Nieuwe Sloelijn) replaces the Oude Sloelijn, which ran too close to the built-up area of ​​Heinkenszand and had many level crossings. The old line was dismantled in February 2009. The new line, unlike the old one, has grade-separated crossings (such as the Mallardviaduct over the A58 ) and is electrified.

The new route was initially scheduled to be put into use in 2007, but this was postponed until mid-2008 due to delays (due to the discovery of an aircraft bomb from World War II ). On 22 September 2008, the first train ran over the Nieuwe Sloelijn, which was officially opened by Minister Eurlings on 29 September 2008.
