Zuidas is working on plans for the Verdi neighbourhood, part of which includes the northern zone of IJsbaanpad. This is being given a new use. From 9 November 2023, the draft zoning plan that will make this development possible is open for consultation.
On 27 July 2023, Amsterdam City Council and the Dutch House of Representatives were updated on progress on the Zuidasdok project in the second half of 2022. The report provides a valuable insight into the status of the work at the end of 2022.
On National Architecture Day (‘Dag van de Architectuur’), we will be focusing on our own area. Rather than singling out one of Zuidas’ acclaimed buildings, we will take a look at the infrastructure. What is the architectural vision behind Zuidasdok?
The relocation of the Sporthallen Zuid sports complex will not be happening after all. The complex will be refurbished and extended on its current site, as the 2023 Spring Memorandum (‘Voorjaarsnota 2023’) reveals. This puts an end to the planned construction of 550 homes in that area.
On 5 April 2023, we spoke to around 75 residents, businesses and interested parties. It proved to be a very valuable meeting – we now have a clear picture of what the important topics are. In this article, we take a look at them.
The TriAX construction consortium is currently in the process of getting to know its neighbours. So, how does TriAX aim to develop good community relations with residents, businesses and other stakeholders around the De Nieuwe Meer interchange? By seeking them out and engaging in conversation.
The dismantling of the Schinkelbrug bridge control towers after half a century marks the end of an era. For now, the operators will be working from a hut. ‘You can definitely see more on camera, but you miss the sense of belonging to the bridge.’
At the De Nieuwe Meer interchange, we are experimenting with so-called BioBlocks: compressed waste from plant materials on which new plants can grow. We aim to use them in the future to create green walls on either side of the A10 Zuid.
Above all else, 2022 was the year when funding for the Zuidasdok project was finalized. But of course, it was also a year when we just kept on building. Many new homes were completed and work continued on the major upgrade at Amsterdam Zuid station. Preparations also began on the renovation of the motorway interchange at De Nieuwe Meer.
In the tender for the work to reconstruct the De Nieuwe Meer interchange, the offer put forward by TriAX has been judged to be the best. This provisional awarding of the project marks the start of the process of widening one of the busiest motorways in the Netherlands, the A10 Zuid.
ProRail will be working on the railway tracks between 13 and 26 November, and it will not be possible to access Amsterdam Zuid station for two weeks. The Zuidasdok project will make use of this train-free period to relocate the control building for the rail and motorway bridges over the Schinkel.
Jaagpad and Riekerweg near the Schinkelbrug bridge will be closed for a short time in October and November 2022. A diversion will be put in place with clear signposting. The work is being done to prepare for the redesign of De Nieuwe Meer motorway interchange.
