On 16, 17 and 18 April 2024, we have closed off one of the two southern access tunnels of the Minervapassage. We are doing this in order to gain an impression of what will happen when the passageway is partially closed for a longer period from mid-2025.
The digging of the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station, the Brittenpassage, is now three-quarters of the way towards completion. Concrete trucks are currently in the process of creating a crawlspace. They are also preparing the foundations for the pillars that will support the roof of the passageway.
Are you curious about what we are building in and around Amsterdam Zuid station? At 16.00 on Tuesday, 16 April 2024, we are organising a guided tour of all of the works. This walking tour will include a look at the additional passenger tunnel, the Brittenpassage.
Safe construction is one of the most important challenges for Zuidasdok. We are building in a busy, built-up area and always in close proximity to the A10 and the railway. So, how do we ensure that it stays safe?
From April to July 2024, we are working on the metro viaducts across Parnassusweg. We are making preparations to enable the construction of a new viaduct there this summer. During this period, we will be closing the eastern carriageway (in the direction of the city) several times.
On 12 March 2024, more than 150 people visited the market in the Zuidas-Zuidasdok Information Centre. Alongside many familiar faces, there were also quite a lot of new ones. People with specific questions and people with a general interest in Zuidas and Zuidasdok.
Piles, piles and even more piles. Under the roof of the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station, everything is focusing on foundation work. A total of around 350 piles are being inserted into the ground for the floor of the new Brittenpassage.
In 2024, the reconstruction of the De Nieuwe Meer junction is set to start after a long period of preparation. At two walk-in meetings on Wednesday 13 March, we will give you an idea of the works you can expect in the years ahead and the related disruption.
At the start of March 2024, we will be removing trees and bushes at three locations around the De Nieuwe Meer junction. This will create space for work sites and access roads for construction. Ultimately, this will also enable the widening of the A10 Zuid. Cyclists will face some temporary disruption.
Between 7 July and 26 August 2024, the metros at Amsterdam Zuid station will run a modified service. Metros 50 and 51 will be using a single track instead of two, in both directions. The GVB's Ger Walstra tells us about it.
The definitive entryways to the second passenger tunnel at Amsterdam Zuid station, the Brittenpassage, will not be in place until 2036. But when it opens in 2027, they will already be clearly recognisable, as a life-sized impression of the southern entrance shows.
On Thursday, 1 February 2024, the new GVB Service & Tickets desk in the existing passageway at Amsterdam Zuid station will open. The existing desk has to be removed to make space for the renovation of the passageway.
