In February 2023, the maximum permitted speed in Gustav Mahlerlaan-West will be reduced from 50 km/h to 30 km/h. This will make this section of the Kenniskwartier between the Vrije Universiteit and Parnassusweg somewhat safer, before around 500 new homes are built there in the near future.
The exterior walls of Vrije Universiteit’s new Research Building are now windtight and watertight. The structure along the side of the building which protects cyclists and pedestrians from any falling building materials can now also be removed. Work will also begin on fitting out the laboratories inside the building.
The crossing over the road and tramlines in Parnassusweg has now been completed. This means that pedestrians heading from Amsterdam Zuid in the direction of VU Amsterdam can now avoid the busy junction between Buitenveldertselaan and De Boelelaan.

Between 19.00 and 01.00 on the evening of Friday, 2 December, we will be working on the corner of Strawinskylaan and Beethovenstraat. Resurfacing work was recently completed here, but an inspection has revealed that the asphalt was not properly applied. We will now rectify the problem.
Since the end of October 2022, there have been sounds of demolition hammers at work in Prinses Irenestraat as the plasterwork and several floors in the former Amsterdam International Community School (AICS) are being demolished. The work will last until mid-December at the latest.

ProRail will be working on the railway tracks between 13 and 26 November, and it will not be possible to access Amsterdam Zuid station for two weeks. The Zuidasdok project will make use of this train-free period to relocate the control building for the rail and motorway bridges over the Schinkel.
Wielingenstraat will be completely closed to vehicle traffic in both directions for two days, starting on Friday 4 November at 19.00. Waternet will be working on the sewers near Krammerstraat during that period. Cyclists and pedestrians will not experience any additional disruption.
From 01.00 on Sunday, 13 November until 08.00 on Saturday, 26 November, it will not be possible to reach Amsterdam Zuid station by train. In that period, ProRail is working on the track between Amstelveenseweg and Parnassusweg.
In a few years’ time, the metro platforms will be moving to the other side of the Amsterdam Zuid station. To prepare for this, we will be positioning sheet piling between the railway and metro tracks from 5 until 7 November. The metro and railway will run a revised service.
The completion of EDGE Stadium, the former headquarters of Loyens & Loeff on Fred. Roeskestraat is nearly here. The stand-out feature is the newly renovated atrium. ‘After two years of work, it’s really something to see it all coming together.’
