Part of the A10 is the Coentunnel, crossing the Noordzeekanaal ("North Sea Canal").

The eastern and northern part were finished in 1990, with the completion of another tunnel under the IJ, the Zeeburgertunnel.

The western part of the A10, between interchange De Nieuwe Meer with the A4 and exit 2, has a speed limit of 80 km/h (50 mph).

During rush hour the speed on the southern part can be reduced to 80 km/h if the hard shoulder is opened for use as an additional traffic lane.

The A10 south between the De Nieuwe Meer junction and the Amsterdam-Buitenveldert connection is being converted into a tunnel as part of the Zuidasdok project, in order to expand Amsterdam Zuid station and Amsterdam RAI station.
