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.
In the coming years, new contractors will be responsible for parts of the Zuidasdok project. Rather than being awarded to a single contractor, the project will be put out to tender again, this time in packages of related work. A market consultation will take place on 26 June 2020.
Building work on Zuidasdok is set to continue. As became apparent on 26 March 2020, the exploratory study carried out by the Minister of State, Sybilla Dekker, was enough to convince the administrators. Instead of suggesting ways of economising on the plans, Dekker argues the case for expanding the ambitions.
The ambitions and scope of the extensive Zuidasdok infra-project have been reconfirmed. The government, the City of Amsterdam, the Transport Authority Amsterdam and the Province of Noord-Holland have all endorsed the recommendations of the Minister of State, Sybilla Dekker.
The A10 South (Zuid) will be closed in the direction of Schiphol from 23.00 on Friday, 21 February until 05.00 on Saturday, 22 February. This is to enable work to be done for which Schinkelbrug bridge will need to stay open over a long period.
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?
At the end of October and throughout November, roadworks will be conducted at night on and alongside the southern stretch of the A10 orbital motorway (A10 Zuid). As a result, some lanes, connecting roads and slip roads may be closed between 23:00 and 05:00. In such cases, traffic will be diverted. The work will begin on Tuesday 30 October.
