Netherlands Construction Maten Tender

The construction of the De Maten tunnel on Europaweg Zuid is well on its way. For the construction industry a great deal of effort was put into dumping the floors in the tunnel. Work has also been done on the water cellar. This underground water cellar will soon be intended for the collection of rainwater in the tunnel.After construction the builders pick up the thread again. Then the walls and columns are made under the tunnel deck. The walls are made of anthracite gray natural stone. After the concrete work a further finishing period follows. The final phase is making the entrances. If everything goes well the tunnel will open to traffic at the end of 2019.Tunnel De Maten is the new connection between the Europaweg-Zuid and Assen Oost. There will be two carriageways a cycle path and a footpath in the tunnel. Grass slopes will be installed on both sides of the tunnel. They provide a green and open image.
