You hopefully already know that the A4 and A10 Zuid will be closed from the Badhoevedorp interchange in the direction of Utrecht/Hengelo from 22.00 on 5 August until 05.00 on Monday 14 August. The A10 will remain open as normal on the other side. There will be a reduced train service. For personal travel advice, you can consult Ask&Go. This will cause serious disruption, but never fear: we plan to ensure that there’s also some fun to be had! So, get on your bike or take the metro, tram or bus – or even walk – and come along and take a look.
Summer Shack in Mahlerplein
Since 20 July, the Zuidas Zomer Keet (Zuidas Summer Shack) has been in Mahlerplein (next to the station). We are organising countless activities there and there are some new additions to our programme starting in the week of 7 August.
What’s on the agenda between Monday, 7 and Friday, 11 August? An overview:
Spectacle from the platform
At Amsterdam Zuid station, we’re digging up around 100 m of the A10. We’re also removing two railway tracks. Interested in taking a look? Register now to view it from close up. You can also be briefed by one of our experts.
When?
- Monday, 7 August: 10.00 – 11.00, 11.00 – 12.00 and 14.00 – 15.00
- Wednesday, 9 August: 11.00 – 12.00 and 14.00 – 15.00
- Friday, 11 August: 10.00 – 11.00 and 11.00 – 12.00
Shifting 7 million kg
Witness works like you’ve never seen before. Centimetre by centimetre, we’re shifting two extremely heavy sections of the roof for the second station passageway into position. This superb expertise just has to be seen.
When?
- Wednesday, 9 August: 20.00 – 21.00 and 21.00 – 22.00
A glimpse into the nerve centre
Closing one of the Netherlands’ busiest roads is not a simple operation. A team of traffic experts are permanently monitoring all of the diversions, making traffic adjustments where necessary. It’s fascinating to see for yourself how it all works.
When?
- Tuesday, 8 August: 13:00 – 14:00
- Friday, 11 August: 13:00 – 14:00
Tuktuk tours through Zuidas
Fancy an expedition through Zuidas? On this electric tuktuk tour, we not only show you what’s happening around the station, but also how the Zuidas district is developing. Places are limited, because only four people can take part per journey.
When?
- Monday, 7 August, Tuesday, 8 August, Wednesday, 9 August, Thursday, 10 August and Friday, 11 August.
- Times: 10.00 – 11.00, 11.30 – 12.30, 13.00 – 14.00, 14.30 – 15.30 and 16.00 – 17.00
(Please note that there will be no tour at 16.00 on Friday)
Decorate a sheet pile!
We’re installing large numbers of sheet piles into the ground and normally that would be the last you see of them. But not now. There’s a piece of sheet pile wall next to the Zuidas Zomer Keet in Mahlerplein. You can come and help decorate it, and even bring the children.
When?
- Tuesday, 8 August: 10:30 – 12:00
Zuidas, work in progress
There are very few places in the Netherlands where so much construction work is happening simultaneously. How do you build a city district while everything stays open? And how do you run all the different projects and programmes simultaneously? Our experts will tell you all about it.
When?
- Monday, 7 August: 15:00 – 16:00
The architecture of Zuidasdok
Architect Reinald Top from architects’ firm ZJA provides you with a glimpse into the future of the huge Zuidasdok project.
When?
- Thursday, 10 August: 15:00 – 16:00
