📋 Tender Overview
This afternoon, the façade of Amsterdam Central Station will be repainted with the original lettering. These were removed at the end of last year for the restoration of the entrance to the monumental central hall. The letters will be temporarily placed above the entrance. In the future, the canopy above the main entrance will also return. When this is finished, the letters will be permanently placed in their original place on the awning.
Renewal in progress
Anton Rail & Infra is currently renovating the floor and the entrance on behalf of ProRail and NS. This job is expected to be completed this spring. Then the hall will have a beautiful floor again and the entrance will be completely finished. In some corners of the hall, the contractor is still working on tiling. This is a precise job and of course it has to be done neatly. The contractor is also working on the façade and doorways. When this is finished, the paving at the eastern metro access will be adjusted.
More travellers
In addition to the renovation of the monumental central hall, ProRail has started a large-scale renovation of the station. The reason is the growing number of passengers from 200,000 to 275,000 per day. This requires more space. That is why BAM is currently renovating the western entrance on the centre side on behalf of ProRail. In the future, we will also increase the number of entrances to the platforms, widen the East Tunnel and widen and lengthen the current platforms. We are also going to replace the five bridges at the Eastern Entrance. These are at the end of their lifespan.
