Second Coen Tunnel

The tunnel was built in combination with a new highway connection, the Westrandweg, to the A5 motorway.

This greatly increases the accessibility of Amsterdam from the north of the Netherlands.

The Second Coen Tunnel was procured under a Public-private partnership model under a DBFM structure (Design Build Finance & Maintain).

[1] The project was awarded to a consortium consisting of French group Vinci Concessions, CFE, Dredging International, Besix, Dura Vermeer, TBI Bouwgroep and Arcadis.

Total costs of the project are estimated at 1.2 billion euros and construction started on September 7, 2009.
