Prime Minister Rob Jetten visited the Merwede development in Utrecht, which is under construction, in his role as chair of the Task Force Acceleration Housing. Mayor Sharon Dijksma and alderman Linda Voortman joined the visit.

During the visit, Utrecht, Nieuwegein and project developers called for funding for the Rijnenburg tram line, intended to connect the planned Rijnenburg district with Utrecht. No funding for the tram line has yet been secured.
