The new railway line will run for around 4 km along an elevated rail viaduct and over two arch bridges and connect back to the existing railway line at the A15.
The Port of Rotterdam Authority has awarded the building contract for the substructure to the SaVe consortium, consisting of BESIX, Mobilis, Dura Vermeer, Hollandia and Iemants. The project is financed by the European Union, the Port Authority and the Dutch Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.
Building work began in September 2018.
