Calling all lovers of construction! Since 13 November 2020, an additional webcam has been pointing at the construction work underway on two roof sections for the additional passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station. You can now watch the construction live from the northern and southern sides.

We are in the process of preparing the construction of two roof sections for the additional entrance to Amsterdam Zuid station. The work will be done between two metro tracks. So how do you build two huge pieces of concrete with only minimal space in which to work? According to Emiel Vergouw, that’s not the only challenge.

Work on the additional passenger tunnel for Amsterdam Zuid station, the Brittenpassage, is slowly continuing. In April and August 2021, we will be inserting the second and third roof sections into position. Work outdoors to prepare for this is already starting on 14 September 2020.

It was an exciting weekend. Thousands of people were watching in person or on the webcams, at times teetering between hope and trepidation. But the operation was a success. The first roof section for the extra passenger tunnel is now in place.

During Whit weekend (8-10 June 2019), we will be putting the first part of the roof of the new Brittenpassage into position. But this mammoth task will be affecting travellers from as early as Friday, 10 May 2019. So what is all the work that needs to be done?
