On the evening of Wednesday, 9 August, it was finally time for the big event: shifting two sections of the roof for the Brittenpassage, the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station, into position millimetre by millimetre. It also attracted a great deal of interest from the press and public.
Until September 2023, we are carrying out major works in Parnassusweg on both the existing and a new metro viaduct. This will involve a lot of sheet pile work. During that time, we will also be temporarily closing the A10 in the direction of Schiphol/The Hague on four separate occasions.
On 7 and 8 August 2023, dozens of construction workers were working around-the-clock at Amsterdam Zuid station. Preparations were being made to move two huge roof sections for the second passenger tunnel – the Brittenpassage – into position. Take a look at what happened.
How are motorists responding to the eight-day closure of the A4 and A10 Zuid? We took a look inside the regional traffic centre of Rijkswaterstaat (Public Works Department). ‘There are certainly quite a few drivers stopping along the roadside to check their satnavs.’
The evening of Saturday, 5 August 2023 saw the start of work on the additional passageway at Amsterdam Zuid station. We are doing the work now because the summer is relatively quiet. But for the construction workers, it already feels more like autumn. Our photos below offer an initial impression.
Starting on 14 August 2023, we are building new temporary accommodation for the GVB Service & Tickets desk in the existing passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station. The existing desk has to be removed to make space for the renovation of the passageway.
The expansion of Amsterdam Zuid station involves an awful lot of digging. This includes in early August 2023, as we begin to insert the roof for the second passenger tunnel: the Brittenpassage. We are taking careful measures to ensure that we can dig safely.
The evening of Saturday, 5 August 2023 marks the start of the closure of the A10 Zuid, in the direction of Utrecht and Hengelo. If you’re interested in finding out about what’s happening, why not come and take a look at the works at Amsterdam Zuid station. You can even take part in one (or more) of the other activities.
During the eight-day closure of the A10 in August 2023, we will be widening the S109 access road, doubling its size. It will be temporarily increased to two carriageways in order to optimise traffic flow. Before that, we will be closing the access road in the night of 5/6 August.
Between the evening of Saturday, 5 August and the morning of Monday, 14 August 2023, the closure of the A10 Zuid in the direction of Utrecht and Hengelo will cause major disruption. There will also be fewer trains running. You can consult Ask&Go for travel advice now.
The tendering process for the construction of a motorway tunnel at the centre of Zuidas has been launched. We are diverting part of the A10 underground in order to extend Amsterdam Zuid station. This is all part of the Zuidasdok project.
We are currently in the process of partially demolishing the former Atrium car park underneath the A10 Zuid. This work is necessary because this is where the entrance to the additional station passageway – the Brittenpassage – will be. All of the concrete removed will be reused.
