Christmas holiday: railway platforms accessible via Parnassusweg

New Amsterdam Zuid metro platforms take shape
The new metro platforms for Amsterdam Zuid station are gradually becoming visible. In November 2025, we will be placing all of the concrete slabs for the platform floor into position. In order to do that safely, there will be a reduced metro service during two weekends.
Serious disruption in Parnassusweg for cyclists and pedestrians
From 3 November 2025 until 4 April 2026, Parnassusweg will be almost completely closed to cyclists and pedestrians on the station side next to the viaduct. There will be no disruptions to cars or trams. We will be working on the extension of the railway platforms at Amsterdam Zuid station.
