The Netherlands’ Ministry of Public Works and Water Management, Rijkswaterstaat, has selected the ALSÉÉN consortium to implement its €200 billion ($216.6b) A27 Everdingen-Hooipolder Roadway PPP project.

ALSÉÉN comprises:

• Ballast Needam – Dutch construction and engineering company
• Fluor – American construction and engineering company

The project is being solely financed by the Ministry of Public Works and Water Management and is a part of the wider, 2-part A27 motorway project which comprises a north and a south section.

The ALSÉÉN consortium won the contract for the southern part of the roadway, which has a cost of €1.5 billion. The 7km north side has a project value of €500 million.

The DBM initiative will:

• widen circa 40km of the existing A27 motoway
• repair the Hooipolder junction
• replace the Merwede and Keizersveer bridges
• connect the roadway to the future Groote Haar business park in Gorinchem

The project will be completed in 2 phases. The first phase will end at the final design stage and will include:

• full site investigations
• complete design packages
• advanced work packaging

This will allow for the second phase:

• construction design
• construction works
• 15-year maintenance phase

The preparatory works will begin in 2023 and the project is scheduled to reach completion by 2029-2031.
