- Strawinskylaan will be closed to vehicular traffic during the nights of 9 to 11 December and 15 to 17 December.
- The 2Amsterdam parking garage will remain accessible to hotel guests 24 hours a day.
- During the nighttime closures, vehicular traffic will be diverted
Diversions

Work
On 1 November 2026, the new Brittenpassage at Amsterdam Zuid station opened. At the same time, the Minervapassage near Zuidplein is being closed for an extended period for a major renovation. As a result, more pedestrians will be crossing Strawinskylaan near Eduard van Beinumstraat. The current pedestrian crossing is not sufficiently safe and does not meet the required standards; it is therefore being upgraded into a safe, wide pedestrian crossing.
