In spite of the curfew, we are once again working between the railway and metro tracks at Amsterdam Zuid station. Until 4 February 2021, we are preparing work for the widening of the platform for railway tracks 3 and 4.
From mid-March 2020, the offices in Zuidas were more or less empty. Most schools and amenities were closed. As in the rest of the country, local residents had to adapt their day-to-day lives. But what about the Zuidas builders? They continued their work.
The Amstelveen line, tram line 25, was put into use. Officially from Sunday 13 December 2020, but it is already possible to hop on. The renovation progressed entirely according to plan. Only the definitive stop at the Amsterdam Zuid station is still a problem.
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.
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?
