It’s not previously shown in Europe: a double-deck tunnel. After a construction period of five years and were last night the first cars underground the city of Maastricht passing. Verkeersminister Melanie Schultz van Haegen (VVD), rode first through the tunnel in a double-decker bus; a while later, the regular traffic.
The A2 in Maastricht will this morning is unusually quiet sound. The many traffic that the city must or should traverse, can now through the tunnel.
What will it be used to for the residents of the A2 in Maastricht this morning: no traffic this morning rush hour. “If they did not wake up from the silence,” laughs chief engineer-director Jannita Robberse of Rijkswaterstaat South-Holland. The highway, which the city doorkliefde is – as tonight everything went underground, disappeared in the King Willem – Alexandertunnel. “The city can now be healed,” says mayor Annemarie Penn-te Strake excited on the eve of the inauguration.
The surgery to the tunnel to open up the lasted the whole night. Because the highway during the construction as much as possible, open to remain there, could some connectors on the two tunnelmonden only at the last moment to be built. And so had roadworkers tonight in high-pace asphalt spin, barriers (far), traffic lights installation and barrier assembly.
More than one hundred and fifty employees of Avenue2, Rijkswaterstaat and other relevant bodies, worked on the opening of the tunnel. Rijkswaterstaat expected that 80 percent of the traffic to the other night about the A2 reed, now through the tunnel will go; up to 80 000 vehicles go per day underground. The tunnelers are not yet ready. The coming months should have the necessary connections are made, and there will still be regulated in night hours need to be worked on.
