A24 Blankenburg Connection

The A24 Blankenburg connection (‘Blankenburgverbinding’) is constructed to improve the accessibility of the Port of Rotterdam and Greenport Westland to the hinterland. This project stimulates the economy and accessibility of the entire region. The new highway connects the A15 east of Rozenburg and the A20 west of Vlaardingen. The connection will be an alternative route to the existing A4 route between the Kethelplein and Beneluxplein junctions.

The project consists of the design, realization, and maintenance of additional lanes to the A20 and the realization of the A24: a new highway containing the Hollandtunnel (a land tunnel) and the Maasdeltatunnel (an immersed tunnel) under the river Het Scheur. The new national highway will be opened in 2024.

The BAAK consortium entered into a long-term DBFM agreement with Rijkswaterstaat for the project. BAAK consists of Macquarie Capital, Ballast Nedam, and Deme. BAAK will design, build, finance, and maintain the project for the next 20 years. The project is now in the construction phase.

SAA A9 Badhoevedorp – Holendrecht

Rijkswaterstaat is further expanding the road system between Schiphol, Amsterdam, and Almere to improve local quality of life and the accessibility to the northern Randstad. The widening of the A9 between Badhoevedorp and Holendrecht is part of this prestigious Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere (SAA) program.

The A9 will be expanded to four lanes per direction between the Badhoevedorp and Holendrecht junctions. In addition, an alternating lane will be constructed. A mile of the A9, near Amstelveen, will be deepened. This project is bridged three times: at Oude Dorp, Stadshart, and the Meander/ Bovenlandpad. At various locations along the road near Ouderkerk aan de Amstel and Amstelveen, 14 kilometers of noise barriers will be installed to improve the local living environment.

The SAA A9 Badhoevedorp project is based on a long-term DBFM agreement between Rijkswaterstaat and VeenIX. VeenIX consists of Macquarie Capital and FCC Construcción. They will design, build, finance, and maintain the project for 14 years. The project is now in the construction phase and will be opened in 2026.

N18 Groenlo – Enschede

The broadening of the N18 provides an improved connection and safe living environment between the Achterhoek and the Twente region. The important goal of the 27-kilometer-long De Nieuwe Twenteroute is to keep through traffic from the centers of Eibergen, Haaksbergen, and Usselo. At Haaksbergen, the N18 passes under the track of the Museum Buurtspoorlijn. The new road between Groenlo and Enschede consists of 2×1 lanes between Groenlo and Haaksbergen and 2×2 lanes between Haaksbergen and Enschede (A35).

The N18 project is based on a long-term DBFM agreement between Rijkswaterstaat and Noaber18. The consortium Noaber18 consists of DIF, BBGI, and Volker Wessels. Noaber18 designs, builds, finances, and maintains the project for 20 years. The renewed N18 between Groenlo and Enschede was opened on 2 May 2018: the project is in the operational phase.

Westland City Hall

The Westland is an economically important international region in the field of food & flowers. To modernize the housing of the municipality Westland in Naaldwijk (> 100.000 inhabitants), a new city hall has recently been realized. The House of the Community symbolizes the history and development of the municipality Westland. The town hall consists of city hall, a public center for municipality services (> 500 daily visitors), and the administrative center for the Executive Board and civil servants. The design of the housing meets all modern standards of sustainability (co2 neutral) and is flexible and transparent, with a lot of glass. For this design, the architect has used the metaphor of greenhouse horticulture.

The establishment and operation of the Westland town halls are based on a long-term DBFMO agreement between the municipality of Westland and De Groene Schakel. The consortium De Groene Schakel consists of BBGI and Volker Wessels. De Groene Schakel designs, builds, finances, and maintains the project for 25 years. They also provide additional services such as catering, landscaping, service desk, and cleaning. The project is in the operational phase: the town halls were opened on 1 August 2017.

SAA A9 Holendrecht – Diemen (Gaasperdammerweg)

To improve the living quality of Amsterdam Zuid-Oost and to promote accessibility of Schiphol and traffic flow in general, extra lanes have been added in recent years on Gaasperdammerweg A9 between Holendrecht and Diemen junctions, and the Gaasperdammertunnel has been constructed. This is the longest land tunnel in the Netherlands, consisting of five tunnel tubes. The project is part of the prestigious Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere (SAA) program. Viaducts on this route have been widened and two new connecting arches and a flyover have been realized at the Holendrecht junction. The first opening of the tunnel took place in the summer of 2020.

The Gaasperdammerweg A9 project is based on a long-term DBFM agreement between Rijkswaterstaat and IXAS. The consortium IXAS consists of 3i, InfraRed Capital Partners, Ballast Nedam, Heijmans, and Fluor. IXAS designs, builds, finances, and maintains the project for 20 years.
