Starting in September 2023, we will spend a year working on the entrance to the new Ravel residential district: Maurice Ravellaan, with space for pedestrians, cyclists and plenty of green areas. We are also digging an actual canal, complete with bridges to the AFC sports fields.
It will not be very long before The Newton is completed in Kop Zuidas. When it comes to the appearance and quality of this energy-efficient complex, it is obvious that no expense has been spared. ‘This is genuine craftsmanship: in no way is this standard housing construction.’
The cycle path in Beethovenstraat heading in the direction of Valley is again in use. We needed the cycle path in order to carry out work on cables and pipelines and prepare the two plots in the new Ravel residential district for construction. This has now been done.
The Sustainably Accessible Zuidflank Mobility Plan ('Mobiliteitsplan Zuidflank Duurzaam Bereikbaar') was approved in July 2023. This future vision of Zuidas and its surroundings envisages more space for pedestrians, cyclists and public transport – and less for cars. ‘We need a change in the way people travel.’
From 5 to 17 June 2023, we are digging test trenches at different locations in Prinses Irenestraat. Our aim is to map out the underground cables and pipelines. Car traffic will be diverted and we expect some noise nuisance.
Work is currently in progress on Kapel & Convict in Beatrixpark to prepare for the accommodation of 100 Ukrainian refugees at the end of this year. From the 31 May 2023, construction traffic will be able to access the site by means of a pontoon floating in the pond. This will ensure that the busy cycle path remains free.
Work started on the art bridge across De Boelegracht in May 2023. We started by placing foundations on the south bank (the Buitenveldert side) in preparation for the real work: installing the bridge later this year.
Because of construction work, Parnassusweg will be closed to cars and buses travelling in the direction of the city in the last weekend of May and first weekend of June 2023. This will be followed in the summer by a two-month road closure for cars travelling out of the city.
By the end of May, the major maintenance next to the housing in Wielingstraat will be complete. From 29 May until the start of October, it will be the turn of the other side (alongside the RAI). The result will be a safe and green Wielingenstraat.
In the weekend of 5-7 May 2023, there will be a diversion in the Minervapassage, the existing passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station. This passenger tunnel will be much taller and wider in the future, which is why we are now demolishing part of the existing roof.
After two years of construction work, EDGE Stadium, located on the corner of Amstelveenseweg and Fred. Roeskestraat has been completed. The key aim of this redevelopment was to improve sustainability. The updated design has resulted in a stunningly attractive office building.
Starting on 3 April, the bridge for cyclists and pedestrians that connects Zuidas with the Zuid city district will be closed for a three-month period. The Minervabrug is in poor condition and will be repaired. Cyclists and pedestrians will be able to cross the Zuider Amstelkanaal in Beethovenstraat.
