Tuesday 29 July: you watch as we push

The concrete colossus measuring 100 m long and 4 m wide is currently sitting waiting between the metro tracks at Amsterdam Zuid station. Between 11.00 and 13.00 on Tuesday, 29 July, we will be moving it around 16 m to the south reaching just underneath the most southerly metro track that serves lines 50 (Gein) and 51 (Amsterdam Central Station). Of course, you can also watch the spectacle live on our webcams. But fans of construction who are able to come to the station can get their fill during one of four 45-minute guided tours accompanied by an expert.

• Departure times: 10.30 (group 1), 11.00 (group 2), 11.30 (group 3), 12.00 (group 4).
• You are welcome to join us from 15 minutes in advance at the Zuidas-Zuidasdok Information Centre, World Trade Center, Tower 5 Central Foyer.
• The guided tour will take around 45 minutes.
• You can register for it here.

This is the very last roof section needed to get the metro tracks at the right height in order to make it possible for us to expand the existing station passageway at Amsterdam Zuid station (Minervapassage). In the future, it will be twice as high and over three times as wide as it currently is. We regularly organise live events focusing on all of the work at the station, as we did last June when the railway platform roofs were lifted into place.
