Amstelveenseweg reopens after five weeks: what we built

After a five-week closure, Amstelveenseweg beneath the A10 Zuid reopened to traffic on 17 August 2026. During those five – at times swelteringly hot – summer weeks, we continued work on widening the A10 Zuid viaduct. Here is a look back at what we achieved.

Zuidas-Zuidasdok Information Centre moves to new location with a fresh new look

Would you like to find out more about the development of Zuidas, the regeneration of Amsterdam Zuid station and the widening and tunnelling of the A10 Zuid? Then visit the brand-new information centre on the ground floor of the WTC, close to the station.

21-24 August: A10 West closed as far as access road S107

From Friday, 21 August at 22.00 until Monday, 24 August at 05.00, the roads connecting the A4 and A10 Zuid to the A10 West in the direction of Leeuwarden/Zaanstad will be closed.

Wider viaduct planned at De Nieuwe Meer junction

From Friday, 21 to Monday, 24 August 2026, we will be building a completely new viaduct alongside the existing viaduct on the A4. It will eventually form part of a diversion route that will be in use for several years during the reconstruction of the junction. So, what exactly are we doing?

Beethovenstraat works progressing according to plan

Until 17 August, the road beneath the viaduct in Beethovenstraat will remain closed to cars and buses. Underground, Zuidasdok is installing a culvert and removing cables and pipelines, while above ground work is under way at two junctions. How are things progressing?

Survey vessel Tonny investigates the riverbed of the Amstel

From 27 to 31 July 2026, we will use a specialist vessel to investigate the riverbed of the Amstel near the Rozenoordbrug. We will be significantly widening the bridge over the coming years, so we need to determine where and how the new foundations should be built.

What do you need to know about the new Amsterdam Zuid station?

On Sunday, 1 November, Amsterdam Zuid station will move to the new Brittenpassage for the coming years. We are already receiving lots of questions about the new metro platforms, escalators and staircases, bicycle parking facilities and much more. Here is everything you need to know.

A10 Zuid widening above Amstelveenseweg progressing well

Until Monday, 17 August 2026, Amstelveenseweg beneath the A10 Zuid is closed to motorised traffic. During the closure, which lasts just over six weeks, we are constructing additional viaducts as part of the widening of the A10 Zuid. What have we achieved so far?

Underpass beneath Beethovenstraat viaducts closed for four weeks

In July and August 2026, the underpass beneath the road and railway viaducts in Beethovenstraat will be closed to cars and buses for four weeks. During this period, we will be preparing for the construction of the A10 tunnel. Further along, the Beethovenstraat/Ravellaan junction will also be redesigned.

A recognisable entrance for the Brittenpassage

Over the past few weeks, we’ve been ‘k’nexting’ together a frame of 40 tons of ‘green’ steel, topped with a blue truck tarpaulin measuring no less than 400 square meters. On the evening of 7 July, we hoisted this recognizable 'blue disc' onto the southern facade of the new Brittenpassage. This way, you know where to find the new station entrance, when the Brittenpassage opens on 1 November.

Zuidasdok Projects

Zuidasdok is one of the largest infrastructure projects in the Netherlands. The A10 Zuid is being widened between the Amstel and De Nieuwe Meer junctions. In the centre of Zuidas, the A10 Zuid is being brought underground. Thanks to the motorway tunnel, Amsterdam Zuid station can develop into a high-quality transport hub where train, metro, tram and bus come together. An additional station passage will be added, the train platforms will be wider, tram stops will be built directly on the south side of the station and bus stops on the north side. Than, Amsterdam Zuid is ready for a third train platform with a check-in for the train to Brussels, Paris, London, Berlin and possibly Düsseldorf and Cologne.
