From Saturday 5 August until the morning of Monday 14 August, there will be major traffic disruptions on the south side of Amsterdam. During this period, the A4 and A10 Zuid motorways will be closed from the Badhoevedorp junction to the S109 RAI slip road, in connectionwith construction works at Amsterdam-Zuid station.
For eight days during the 2023 summer holiday, the A10 Zuid will be one big building site. The roadway and a section of railway track outside Amsterdam-Zuid station will be temporarily removed.In order to slide two large roof sections for the second station passageway into position. This second passageway is located to the west of the existing one, in the embankment over which the motorway and railway and metro tracks run.

Rescheduled
The works were originally scheduled for Ascension weekend in May. However, to allow more than one weekend for completion, they have been postponed until summer, when there will be less traffic.
In the direction of Utrecht
To make room for the construction work, the A4 and the A10 Zuid in the direction of Utrecht will be closed from the Badhoevedorp junction to the S109 RAI slip road. The closure will start on Saturday 5 August at 22.00 and last until the morning rush hour on Monday 14 August. Traffic will be diverted via the A9 and A5 motorways (see map below). Although the road closure has been scheduled during a relatively quiet, low-traffic holiday period, drivers can expect significantly longer journey times, of up to one hour.

During the closure, Amsterdam-Zuid station will have limited train services. Metro and bus services will run as normal.
New station passageway
This work is part of the Zuidasdok project, which includes widening and tunnelling of the A10 Zuid motorway and the complete renovation of Amsterdam-Zuid station. Construction of the second station passageway is a crucial step towards increasing capacity at this busy public transport station. After its renovation, AmsterdamZuid station will accommodate passenger volumes similar to Amsterdam’s central station.
