Jaagpad and Riekerweg near the Schinkelbrug bridge will be closed for a short time in October and November 2022. A diversion will be put in place with clear signposting. The work is being done to prepare for the redesign of De Nieuwe Meer motorway interchange.
Construction work has started on a new roof section for the Brittenpassage, the second passenger tunnel for Amsterdam Zuid station. ‘The work site is very small, with a lot of neighbours around it. That makes it quite a challenge’, says Geo van Tintelen.
Between mid-October and mid-December, we will be working on the Schinkelbrug and Jaagpad north of the bridge. In preparation for the work at the De Nieuwe Meer interchange, we will be moving the control towers for the Schinkelbrug.
After the major work that was completed in July and August 2022, the modernization and expansion of Amsterdam Zuid station continues to make rapid progress.

Perhaps you missed the announcement in the summer: on 21 September 2022, we are organising a walk-in information meeting on the relocation of the controls for the Schinkelbrug bridge. These works are part of the process of updating the De Nieuwe Meer interchange.

Metro passengers have now had some time to get used to the changes to the platforms on the North/South metro line and are making enthusiastic use of the new crossing. So, what has changed and why?
Fans of construction have been regularly monitoring our webcam, which is showing a live feed of the major works underway at Amsterdam Zuid station. At times, there is a noticeable difference in the clothes that the workers are wearing. This is due to the nature of the ground in which we are working.
We’ve made a start. On the evening of Friday, 22 July, the long-awaited 11-day closure of the A10 Zuid actually began. Ultimately, we can look back on a successful weekend involving some really hard work. Only eight more days to go.
At Amsterdam Zuid station, we are raising the height of the tracks and platforms on the North/South metro line. This will take until the morning of Saturday, 23 July. So, how is work progressing? Take a look at the pictures of the first few days of work.
