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.
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.
Because the metro viaduct across Parnassusweg is being widened, the carriageway in the direction of Amstelveen will be close to cars and buses between 24 July and 1 October 2023. However, slow traffic can continue to use Parnassusweg during the works.
There’s not long to go now: from the evening of Saturday, 5 August until the morning of Monday, 14 August, the A4 and A10 Zuid will be closed from the Badhoevedorp interchange to the S109 RAI access road. We are certainly ready for it. But is everybody else in Zuidas?
Starting on 20 July 2023, the Zuidas Zomer Keet (Zuidas Summer Shack) will be back in Gustav Mahlerplein. In it, we’ll tell you all about the summer works at Amsterdam Zuid station, but there’s also much more: guided tours, workshops and tuktuk rides. Make sure you don’t miss it!
The replacement of the southern Rozenoordbrug on the A10 Zuid will be part of the reconstruction of the Amstel interchange, one of the Zuidasdok projects. ‘The city of Amsterdam is developing. We need to be sure we have the capacity to keep pace with it.’
In the last week of June 2023, we had to halt sheet piling work west of Amsterdam Zuid station due to the instability of the metro track. We will complete the work on Saturday 1 July, after which we will repair the track.
