An innovative large tunnel construction project is going ahead in Maastricht, the Netherlands. The 2.3km link forms part of a €683 million project, and is the first two-tier tunnel in the country. It will boost capacity and reduce congestion.
The link, with two lanes in each of four tunnels, two on each tier with the lower tunnels for through traffic and the upper tunnels for local traffic is scheduled for completion in 2016.
The work is being carried out by the Avenue2 consortium, which includes the contractors Strukton and Ballast Nedam. New homes and a park will be set up over the tunnels.
