Maintenance work at Amstelveenseweg station

From Sunday 7 until Sunday 28 August, we are carrying out works at Amstelveenseweg station. This will involve replacing the tramlines and renovating the metro stop, making it safer and more comfortable. It is expected to cause some disruption.

Where in Zuidas

We are replacing the old rails, the underlying concrete and the tramline paving between IJsbaanpad and Skûtjespad. At the same time, we are renovating part of the metro stop. We are creating more space for passengers to transfer onto the bus or tram by moving the metro access gates closer to the platform. We are also making the crossing to the bus and tram stops, which passes over the cycle path, less complicated. Public transport passengers can use the eastern entrance (on the VU site) during the maintenance work. The western entrance has been closed.

Noise nuisance and diversion

In order to keep disruption to a minimum, we are doing the works simultaneously. Since this will continue throughout the night, it may cause noise nuisance for local residents. During the maintenance work, Amstelveenseweg will be accessible from a northerly direction up to IJsbaanpad. Drivers travelling further south will be diverted via Parnassusweg and will be able to rejoin Amstelveenseweg via De Boelelaan. Fred. Roeskestraat will only be accessible to traffic travelling north across Amstelveenseweg from a southerly direction.

Diversions for cars and freight traffic

Cyclists and pedestrians

The footpath/cycle path in front of the western entrance to Amstelveenseweg metro station is closed during the maintenance work. Cyclists and pedestrians coming from a northerly direction can use the crossing next to IJsbaanpad to reach the entrance to the metro station on the other side – this eastern entrance will remain in use during the maintenance work. Because of the works, it may also be necessary to close the crossing next to IJsbaanpad. If that happens, there will be a diversion from Stadionplein slightly further to the north.

Tram 24

Tram 24, that normally runs from Stadionweg, via Amstelveenseweg to De Boelelaan, will have its route shortened and not go beyond Stadionplein. After that it will go to a temporary terminus in the Haarlemmermeercircuit, where passengers can transfer to buses 62 (GVB), 347 or 357 (both Connexxion) in order to reach De Boelelaan.

More comfortable transfers

At a later stage, further measures will be put in place to make it more pleasant to use this public transport interchange, including the installation of a noise barrier between the stops and the vehicle lanes

Zuidas accessibility score declines

The average score for journeys to Zuidas fell in 2023 to 6.9 out of 10, the lowest figure in our survey since 2016. The fact that things have become increasingly busy, partly due to works, is the main cause. This is according to the 2023 Mobility Survey.
