Amstel junction reconstruction contract provisionally awarded

The Amstel junction project is the fourth and final major Zuidasdok project, after the regeneration of Amsterdam Zuid station, the reconstruction of the De Nieuwe Meer junction and the construction of the A10 Zuid tunnel.

Project scope

The reconstruction of the Amstel junction involves changes to the A10 motorway from the Amstel junction to Europaboulevard. The work will improve the safety of the A10 Zuid by separating through-traffic from local traffic and adding extra lanes in both directions of travel. In addition to the widening of the A10, the project also includes new connections between the A10 Oost and A10 Zuid, replacement of the southern Rozenoordbrug bridge, the construction of several new viaducts, modifications to city roads and the addition of noise barriers. 

Phased approach

The works have been divided into two subsidiary contracts: one for the north side and one for the south side of the junction. The south side of the junction will be the first to be developed. The realisation of the north side is dependent on funding. Currently, budget is only available for the south side. The whole reconstruction is expected to be completed by 2036.
