Amsterdam’s city council is in uproar over the Oostbrug bridge project, as costs have skyrocketed from €335 million to possibly €650–850 million. Former mobility alderman Melanie van der Horst faced backlash for allegedly withholding the revised figures since February, claiming she waited until numbers were “solid.” Council members called it shocking, especially with elections approaching, while van der Horst defended her actions as following protocol and denied any intentional cover-up. Responsibility now lies with successor Elise Moeskops, though van der Horst refuses to comment on her work. The debate heats up next Thursday as opposition parties prepare to weigh in — a tense moment exposing the fine line between transparency and prudent governance in big infrastructure projects.
