15 July: A10 Zuid evening closure for emergency repairs

The A10 Zuid in the direction of Schiphol/The Hague will be closed from the Amstel junction to the S108 Amsterdam Oud Zuid exit. However, the S108 access road will be open. The road closure will start at 20.30 on Monday, 15 July and end at 05.00 on Tuesday, 16 July. Traffic from the A1 will be diverted at the Diemen junction via the A9. Traffic from the A2 will be diverted at the Holendrecht junction via the A9 (see map). Until the repair work starts, traffic can continue to use the A10 Zuid, but a maximum speed of 70km/h will apply next to Amsterdam Zuid station.

Starting on the evening of Friday, 12 July, work was carried out on the regeneration of Amsterdam Zuid station. This required heavy machinery to be placed on the A10. As a result, the A10 Zuid was closed for the whole weekend. Of course, prior investigations had been carried out to ensure that the road could support the huge cranes. These revealed no specific risks. However, after the machinery was removed, there appeared to have been subsidence of around 15 cm where the crane had been located for pile-driving and the removal of sheet piling from the ground. There is damage to three carriageways. All four carriageways will need to close to enable the repairs to be carried out.
