Part of a Roman road dating from 150 AD has come to light during building activities on the site of housing complex Leidsche Rijn in Utrecht.

 
Archaeologists found the 600 metre stretch of what was an important Roman through-road as early as 1997 but it has taken until recently to properly uncover it.


According to city archaeologist Herre Wynia, the find can tell archaeologists much about the logistics and building techniques of 2000 years ago.
