While preparing the ground for a doubling of the railwayline Utrecht-Geldermalsen, archaeologists have found part of the military road (limes) between the forts Fectio (Vechten) and Trajectum (Utrecht). The actual road was expected, but so far no traces had been unearthed (or noticed!). Personally I expect to see another piece of the road, to the east of Fectio this time, unearthed when a road will be constructed in the near future.
Most of the news is about the Limes and its background, the news about the find is the message that subsequent research will take another 2-3 weeks.
