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.
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.
The cycle path in Beethovenstraat that runs along the front of the WTC has been open again since 17 March 2023, to the delight of many people. It had been closed for five years to enable the construction of Tower Ten, the newest WTC tower.
In the Thomaskerk church on 23 March, 2023, we will be presenting the draft Zuidflank Mobility Plan (‘Mobiliteitsplan Zuidflank’). A webinar will then follow on Monday, 27 March. In the plan, we explain how we intend to ensure that the area in and around Zuidas remains accessible and liveable up to 2040. Will you also be attending?
From 13 March until 5 May 2023, we will be completing the work on the public space around WTC Tower Ten. This will include adding an illuminated footpath between Strawinskylaan and Beethovenstraat. In the final week, there will be some traffic disruption.
In the period from Monday, 6 March until Friday, 10 March, Liander will be replacing a gas pipeline in Antonio Vivaldistraat. Vehicles travelling in a northerly direction will be diverted and the number 464 bus stop will be out of service. There will be little or no disruption for pedestrians and cyclists.
On Saturday, 25 February, we will be removing a tree in Zuidplein, next to Eduard van Beinumstraat. This is necessary because we will be building the northern motorway tunnel here in the future. Before we can do that, we first need to ensure that the ground underneath is clear of obstacles.
The aftermath of an accident has been causing major congestion at the De Boelelaan-Beethovenstraat junction since Sunday, 5 February 2023. At the site of the incident, only one traffic lane is available in all directions. The situation is expected to last until Saturday, 11 February.
Above all else, 2022 was the year when funding for the Zuidasdok project was finalized. But of course, it was also a year when we just kept on building. Many new homes were completed and work continued on the major upgrade at Amsterdam Zuid station. Preparations also began on the renovation of the motorway interchange at De Nieuwe Meer.
For the last few months, we have been working on safer and greener design for Wielingenstraat. Work came to a temporary halt during the Christmas holidays, but will resume on 9 January 2023, with major maintenance work being completed by September 2023.
