📋 Tender Overview
From 26 February to 9 March, ProRail will be working on the tracks around Schiphol. This means that there will be 12 fewer trains to Schiphol Airport.
This is what we are going to do
Around Schiphol, we are renewing the tracks and the construction on which the track is located. We are also replacing two switches in the railway tunnel. And we check all the lighting and technical installations in the railway tunnel. In addition, we are working at the stabling yard at Hoofddorp and we are continuing to work on the escalators, fixed stairs and ramps. This is nearing its end: all escalators and escalators will be back in use before the summer holidays.
Two years in the making
The railway around Schiphol needs to be well maintained. We are working that. We always work in one tunnel tube and take the holiday periods into account. As a result, the work is spread over six years. We've been at it for two years now.
ProRail will also be operating around Schiphol from 29 March to 1 April and from 9 to 13 May. Work will then resume in November. Would you like to know more about the work we have already carried out? You can see it in this video.
About our projects
Schiphol Airport station is busy. Both in terms of trains and in terms of train passengers. That is why the railway around Schiphol must be well maintained. We are doing this with the Major Maintenance Schiphol project. In this way, we ensure that the railway and tunnels can last another 40 years.
With the Schiphol Multimodal Node project, we are providing more space on the platforms, among other things. We do this, for example, by removing ramps and replacing them with fixed stairs. These projects are in parallel: we limit the inconvenience for travellers. The replacement of ramps and escalators will be completed next spring. The other work will continue until 2028.
