Building work on Zuidasdok is set to continue.

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.

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).
