Between the end of June and mid-December 2024, Zuidasdok will be closing the A10 Zuid for eight weekends. These closures will cause serious traffic disruption and increased journey times. We are giving you advance information about these works and the potential diversions.
The VU Research Building in De Boelelaan was completed in early 2024. It is an extraordinary building and the reason why only really becomes clear when you look inside it. ‘Even the tiniest vibrations and temperature differences can have an effect on measurements.’
On 16, 17 and 18 April 2024, we have closed off one of the two southern access tunnels of the Minervapassage. We are doing this in order to gain an impression of what will happen when the passageway is partially closed for a longer period from mid-2025.
The digging of the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station, the Brittenpassage, is now three-quarters of the way towards completion. Concrete trucks are currently in the process of creating a crawlspace. They are also preparing the foundations for the pillars that will support the roof of the passageway.
Are you curious about what we are building in and around Amsterdam Zuid station? At 16.00 on Tuesday, 16 April 2024, we are organising a guided tour of all of the works. This walking tour will include a look at the additional passenger tunnel, the Brittenpassage.
From 2 April until Friday, 28 June, a temporary tram shed is being built for the museum tram next to Jachthavenweg. This is expected to cause some disruption to traffic. Some parking spaces will also be temporarily out of use.
Safe construction is one of the most important challenges for Zuidasdok. We are building in a busy, built-up area and always in close proximity to the A10 and the railway. So, how do we ensure that it stays safe?
In the evenings and nights between 27 and 30 March 2024, there will be works happening along the A10 Zuid in the Utrecht direction. This is expected to cause some disruption to traffic. In the night from Friday, 29 to Saturday 30 March, the S108 access road will be closed.
From April to July 2024, we are working on the metro viaducts across Parnassusweg. We are making preparations to enable the construction of a new viaduct there this summer. During this period, we will be closing the eastern carriageway (in the direction of the city) several times.
The Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management has commissioned ProRail to embark on a so-called ‘planning and study phase’ exploring the options for a future third railway platform for Amsterdam Zuid station. The station currently has two platforms. Zuidasdok is working on the assumption that there will be a third platform.
On 12 March 2024, more than 150 people visited the market in the Zuidas-Zuidasdok Information Centre. Alongside many familiar faces, there were also quite a lot of new ones. People with specific questions and people with a general interest in Zuidas and Zuidasdok.
Piles, piles and even more piles. Under the roof of the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station, everything is focusing on foundation work. A total of around 350 piles are being inserted into the ground for the floor of the new Brittenpassage.
